Mammoth crowds expected at Essequibo Nite exhibition

THE Region 2 administration in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture will declare open the 15th annual Essequibo Nite Exhibition and Trade Fair Friday night in an atmosphere of celebration, love, peace, togetherness, and unity at the Anna Regina Community Centre ground under the theme: “Fostering agricultural and manufacturing development, promoting our trade potential.”A release from the regional administration said the response from the general public on the Essequibo Nite activity is positive and large crowds are expected to turn up at the venue on both nights to view exhibits and join in the Agriculture Month celebration. The release said the planning committee for the massive activity has changed the theme of the exhibition to: “Fostering agricultural and manufacturing development so as to highlight the growing trade and manufacturing industries in the region.”
The release said the administration has constructed in excess of 130 booths on the ground, which will be fully occupied. Region 2 Vice-Chairman, Mr Vishnu Samaroo, said the Ministry of Agriculture will have a large tent to showcase its different departments such as Guyana Rice Development Board, NAREI, crops and livestock and fisheries.
Reports said the private sector on the Essequibo Coast and in Georgetown are actively participating and supporting the Essequibo Night event. Several companies from the Essequibo Coast and Pomeroon including Pomeroon Oil Mills; Original Juice Centre; Big Bird and Sons Fish Complex; Jaigobin’s supermarket; Ansa Mc Al; Banks DIH; the Beharry Group of Companies, along with Digicel and GT&T and many other companies are expected to participate.
Essequibians always look forward to Essequibo Nite as one of great celebration, where families come together to enjoy themselves after hard work in the fields.
Fifteen years ago, Essequibo Nite was birthed in the Region by Late Minister of Agriculture Mr. Satyadeow Sawh. The late minister started the activity under the theme: “Made in Guyana, grown in Guyana” and he would always say at the start of Essequibo Nite: I “salute all farmers and hats off to all farmers.”
