Oct 10, 2013
GEORGETOWN, Guyana - President Donald Ramotar said that agriculture is finally getting the recognition it deserves in the Caribbean. The president made this remark while addressing the official opening of the 12th Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) being hosted here after 10 years.
Ramotar said there are many challenges that confront the Caribbean and the world at large, but one of the most important challenges is the quest for food.
The Guyanese head of state told the international guests and delegates gathered here for the week of activities that the quest for food could only be solved if governments start investing heavily in the agriculture sector.
