Guyana gets US$20M grant to develop food sector

ASSISTANT Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, Dr. Julio A. Berdegue, said that the FAO has pledged US$20M in grant aid to develop Guyana’s food sector.

At the time he was meeting with Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo. In assuring Prime Minister Nagamootoo of the FAO’s continued support for Guyana’s agricultural drive, Dr. Berdegue explained that the grant will help the country to develop what he described as “the tremendous untapped possibilities of Guyana in the food sector.”

He noted too that the FAO will strengthen its presence in Guyana, which is recognised as the agricultural reservoir of the entire Caribbean.
