AGRICULTURAL production and other commodities have been sustainable in Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) and maintain a high profile in export. More than 30,000 water coconuts are exported to Trinidad every month and 10 truck loads are sent to Georgetown, every week via the Supenaam-Parika ferry. Large amounts of selected coconuts are exported, while the copra mill complex at Charity is purchasing copra at $41 per pound, the highest price ever paid. More than 12 truckloads and one sloop usually transport farm produce from Pomeroon to Georgetown, every week, with the exception of produce from Supenaam farmers.
Large quantities of various species of wood are also sent to Georgetown. Transmission poles of the wallaba variety are also  sufficient to keep IPA unserved area of electricity on the move.
The Charity NDC has modified the facility used by farmers on market days as well as the maintenance of two farmers’ wharves. The Region Two communities have more than 600 chain saws which keep about 10 wood- processing plants operational to supply the needs of the region.
With 10 spanking new rice mills and the promotion of Venezuela’s rice deal, farmers have no problems with the payments, nor the traditional long lines of waiting trailers, an episode of the previous government.
In the Tapacooma project, 90 per cent of main access dams are well kept and eternal culverts, bridges and bypasses of wooden structure were replaced with concrete. A number of new bridges were built in several districts to facilitate machine and rice harvesters.
Never in the history of Essequibo, were there dozens of all types of earth-moving, building and transportation machinery, above all huge tractors of John Dere, Fait and Ferguson models now replace the traditional small machines. The entire Tapacooma project including about 3,000 acres of former pasture land has been occupied for rice cultivation.
The expansion of new agricultural lands in Region Two is a notable feature. The Ministry of Agriculture is providing 12,000 acres of newly gained land in the Middlesex, Good Hope areas; several hundred acres, already surveyed in the Siriki and Warapana uplands, the allocations of these lands to farmers are in process. In Region Two where the sandy soil is dominant in relation to other coastal regions, the expansion for coffee, cassava, corn, pineapple and citrus production is very conducive.
To facilitate agricultural production, IFAD, an engineer, agronomist and other subsidiary institutions are designated to serve farmers’ needs. The Pomeroon River district, historically noted for boat building and where  the largest wooden ‘schooner’was built in 1948 is still the largest boat- building district in Guyana – more than 25 boats  supply the needs of river transportation and cross-border trade.
Cattle production in the lower Pomeroon is also prominent except that more support to this industry is needed. There are also large areas of savannah state lands available for pasturage in Region Two awaiting investors.
With agricultural production and culture in Region Two evolving with mechanisation and new scientific methods, more food will be available for consumption and export.
