AGRICUTLURE Minister Zulfikar Mustapha, on Tuesday, travelled to Baracara in Region Six to deliver on commitments made to farmers by President, Dr. Irfaan Ali.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, as the government moves to develop Guyana’s agriculture sector, farming communities like Baracara are being given the resources needed to develop the sector.

Minister Mustapha handed over a tractor with implements, which include a plough and a tractor pump, and 20 black tanks to store water for farming.
Prior to Tuesday’s visit, farmers also benefited from breeding animals to develop the cattle and small ruminants sector, black giant chicks to develop the poultry sector, and a variety of planting materials and infrastructural upgrades.

Minister Mustapha, while addressing the farmers present, said that the government will spare no effort to ensure the agricultural potential of Baracara and other farming communities across the country are achieved.
He also said that efforts are being made to develop some 400 acres of farm land for red beans cultivation, as the government moves to make Baracara a mass producer of the lucrative crop.
