Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, on Saturday, commissioned the Adventure Pump Station in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne). The pump station was constructed at a cost of $446 million. The new pump station will benefit over 6,000 acres of residential and cultivation land. It is outfitted with two 150 cusec pumps designed to drain 126,000 gallons per minute; hence, it can bring tremendous drainage relief to the Black Bush Polder scheme and other surrounding areas. These types of investment by the government will significantly boost the agriculture sector in this area and enhance productivity, according to Minister Mustapha.
