GUYANA HAS REGIONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP FEED CARIBBEAN: PRES. ALI

GEORGETOWN, GUYANA: Guyana’s rapid agricultural expansion can no longer be treated merely as an internal food-production strategy; it must now be carried out as a vital regional obligation to meet the Caribbean’s dietary needs and insulate the bloc from external supply shocks. Marking the start of Agriculture Month 2026, President Dr. Irfaan Ali said the country's vast endowments of arable land, abundant freshwater reserves, favorable climate, and technical agrarian expertise uniquely position Guyana to serve as the primary breadbasket for the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
