Regional ferry service to operate out of Parika

FARMERS in Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) will soon be able to tap into lucrative markets, as the government has disclosed plans for a regional ferry service to operate out of Parika, which is already a major port.

President Dr. Irfaan Ali revealed this on Tuesday during a community engagement with residents in Bonasika Creek, a farming community in Region Three.
The ferry service, which is a collaborative initiative among the Governments of Guyana, Trinidad &Tobago and Barbados, is intended to promote enhanced trade within the Caribbean Community [CARICOM] as it seeks to slash its food import expenditure by 25 per cent by 2025
