Dear Editor,
On behalf of rice farmers across Region # 3, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government for the relief measures provided to the rice farming sector since 2020.
The support extended to farmers during challenging times, whether due to adverse weather conditions, rising input costs or market disruptions, has brought stability and hope to thousands of households that rely on rice cultivation for their livelihoods. The PPP/C government’s responsiveness and tangible actions continue to demonstrate a deep commitment to safeguarding the interests of rural communities and agriculture as a whole.
The relief interventions, including flood relief grants, fertilizer support, seed distribution and price subsidies, have significantly eased the burdens faced by rice farmers and enabled many of us to remain productive and resilient. My farming community is appreciative of the love and support shown to us and will be a pillar that helps in a massive electoral victory. A win for President Irfaan is a win for all of Guyana.
We especially commend the PPP/C Government’s inclusive approach to decision-making and for continuously engaging with stakeholders. It is clear that the administration recognizes the value of rice farming to our national economy.
We look forward to further collaboration in the rice industry and are committed to doing our part to advance the rice industry.
Regards,
