President David Granger, during a recent visit to Pomeroon, Region Two, challenged the farmers to overcome their perennial problem of markets for their produce. The Pomeroon farmers are now encouraged to venture into Agro- processing.
The President’s visit culminated with the donation of a 25-foot boat to the students along the Pomeroon River. The boat which is named “David G” was a fulfillment of a promise Granger made to the people of the Pomeroon River when he campaigned for the 2015 Regional and General elections.
Granger reminded farmers that Guyana should not be tied to the idea of only exporting raw materials”. They should place attention on exporting more local produce.
The Head of State called on Pomeroon farmers not to become complacent but rather energized and place more emphasis on getting their produce packaged to an acceptable standard, allowing for exportation.
Residents who continue to struggle to find adequate markets for their local produce in the Pomeroon River have echoed calls for the resuscitation of the collapsed Guyana Marketing Agency to be re-established, at Charity.
Pomeroon farmers usually utilized the Charity wharf to sell their produce. (Yannason Duncan)
