Rice Farmers to Benefit from Price Stabilisation Fund and Expanded Support

Guyana has introduced a price stabilisation fund to protect rice farmers from global market fluctuations, guaranteeing fair prices and timely payments. Alongside storage facilities and transport grants, the initiative will lower production costs, improve yields, and boost competitiveness. Support for small and medium-scale farmers includes modern technology, feed mills, and stronger marketing systems. These efforts form part of a broader Region Six development plan involving major infrastructure, healthcare, housing, and safety upgrades, aiming to ensure sustainable agricultural growth and regional prosperity.
