The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) says that farmers from the Upper Corentyne area will soon commence several projects to bring all available land into productive use, further boosting the region’s production.
A release from the Ministry of Agriculture on Saturday said that approximately 30,000 acres of land, including privately held areas near Moleson Creek in Upper Corentyne have been earmarked for infrastructural development for agriculture-related activities. This disclosure, MoA said, was made by Agriculture Minister, Zulfikar Mustapha during a meeting with farmers on Saturday where he officially formed a committee to manage the implementation of the programme.
