I am a farmer in Naamryck Farming Group planting ground provisions, plantain, papaw, watermelon and pineapple on a large scale for the past 34 years.
I have been reading in Stabroek News the articles written about the GMC and the Grow More Food campaign.
I have been working with GMC for the past 15 years, supplying them with my farming produce. I was able to participate in seven of their trade shows to date, namely two at Everest  Ground, one in Bartica, one at Uitvlugt Ground and three at the Stadium in Providence, the last one being Agrifest.
Because of my participation in the local trade shows, I was able to attend a trade show in 2005 in Canada and be a part of the GMC booth promoting fruits and vegetables from Guyana, and seeking markets. Through the GMC, I was able to go to San Diego, USA in October 2006 to attend the Fresh Produce Summit with the group.
Through the GMC I have been linked to Beacon Foundation and Nigel’s Supermarket and has been supplying them on a weekly basis since 2007. With GMC’s help I have also been supplying exporters.
I keep in regular contact with GMC and its offices and I have benefited from many training sessions that they invited me to.
Mr. Editor, I want to let my fellow farmers know that GMC is there at all times and willing to help farmers.
