Farmers in Region 5 (Mahaica–Berbice) are experiencing greater financial relief following the removal of land rent and drainage and irrigation (D&I) charges. This policy has lowered operational costs, enabling farmers to reinvest in equipment, expand acreages, and improve productivity. With reliable drainage and irrigation services now provided at no cost, communities vulnerable to flooding benefit significantly. The initiative strengthens food security, boosts farmer confidence, and supports rural development, safeguarding livelihoods while reinforcing Guyana’s position as a regional food producer.
