I write to state how Guyana is positioned to take off economically with the development of its agricultural sector, and the opening of the Takutu Bridge which links us to Brazil is the first step in opening up new economic activities that can benefit both countries. Linden stands to benefit a lot from activities that will occur, particularly opportunities within the agriculture sector. However the necessary infrastructural work must be done to ensure that Lindeners are able to take advantage of the opportunities that will be presented. As such, major drainage and irrigation works are being undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture to facilitate expanding agriculture development. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture through the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority has undertaken critical infrastructural works in Linden, much to the delight of farmers and residents of Linden.
Further, what is even more commendable is the announcement made by the Minister of Agriculture for additional infrastructural works that is planned for the area and have started already. The dredging of the Karakara and Kumaka River mouth which is currently being undertaken will bring tremendous benefits to farmers and residents in these areas and ultimately the farmers of Linden will contribute to the agricultural sector.
