AS Guyana’s focus on food security intensifies, onions are being grown locally under the watchful eyes of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI). The institute had said, in March 2021, that all the onions on the local markets are imported from the United States of America, Canada or India. It was noted that Guyana has the available land and soil quality (loamy sands and sandy loams) along with climatic suitability to successfully cultivate onions on a large scale and to satisfy the local demand. Research has showed that several varieties of both white and red onions can be successfully grown under shaded and open field conditions. Farmers in Regions Three, Four, Six and 10 have successfully cultivated onions under open field conditions. These Office of the President photos capture onions under cultivation at NAREI
