First rice crop exceeds 300,000 tonnes
THE rice industry has exceeded 300,000 tonnes of rice as the first crop production for 2014, and could surpass 600,000 tonnes by December 2014. Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy stated that the target achieved is a first in Guyana’s history, as well as in the Caribbean. He noted that the claim 10 years ago that the country could produce 500,000 tonnes by 2020 was regarded as impossible; however Guyana did achieve this benchmark more than five years early. In 2013, Guyana produced 535,000 tonnes of rice.
