SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, CMC – The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) says it will support Guyana in developing its trade in agricultural products. IICA Director General, Víctor M. Villalobos met with Guyana’s Agriculture Minister Leslie Ramsammy, who outlined the country’s priorities that included the development of an agrofuels unit, the establishment of programmes to combat and mitigate the effects of climate change, and compliance with international trade standards. “We want an agricultural sector that will drive economic development and generate well-being, that is the kind of sector we want to see develop. In Guyana, we have the land, the water, and the technical expertise needed to promote this type of agriculture,” Ramsammy said.
