Guyana’s $3B Rice Farmer Boost | Guyana News

Guyana’s rice farmers are set to receive massive subsidies starting next week, a direct fulfillment of President Irfaan Ali’s April pledge to shield the sector from global market pressures. Farmers with 50 acres or less get $15,000 per acre, while those over 50 acres receive $10,000 per acre — a $3 billion government investment. The Guyana Rice Development Board verified over 2,800 farmers in Regions Five and Six, with 1,300 confirmed in Region Five and nearly 1,500 in Region Six. The Minister of Agriculture personally oversaw the verification to ensure accuracy and transparency, guaranteeing aid reaches those who need it most.
