As part of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) outreach programme to communities across the regions, Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha on Friday visited the communities of Orealla/Siparuta along the Corentyne River in Region Six where he handed over items to the villagers to further boost their production.
Farmers from both communities benefited from inputs such as water tanks, seeds, chemicals, and planting materials such as seedlings, and plantain and pineapple suckers, a release from the MoA said.
In his remarks to farmers and resident, the minister emphasised that the government has worked “aggressively” to improve the overall wellbeing of persons residing in hinterland and riverine communities.
