The Ministry of Agriculture through the New Guyana Marketing Corpora-tion (New GMC) has announced its intention to step up monitoring and reporting of the prices of fresh and agro-processed commodities, as part of ongoing efforts to keep consumers informed of price trends in markets across Guyana.
A Department of Public Information (DPI) release said that this was recently announced by Agriculture Minister, Zulfikar Mustapha, who disclosed that a few months ago, the New GMC was instructed to compile a list detailing daily market prices for fresh and agro-processed commodities. He explained that while this process is ongoing, the programme will be intensified for the upcoming holiday season.
