-Mustapha tells FAO conference
Guyana’s livestock sector is not only a crucial part of the country’s economy but also a vital component of its cultural heritage and community well-being, but like many other countries in the region, it faces numerous challenges, making a regional approach to sustainable livestock transformation essential.
This was stated by Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, while delivering remarks virtually at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Con-ference for Sustainable Livestock Transformation in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to a Ministry of Agriculture release yesterday.
The two-day conference was held in Punta del Este, Uruguay on November 5 and 6 as a follow-up to recommendations made during FAO’s Global Conference on Sustainable Livestock Transformation which was held in Rome, Italy in September 2023.
