FROM SAVANNAH TO RIVERBANKS – GUYANA CULTIVATES A NEW FUTURE IN CORN AND SOYA

Sharing is caring!



Guyana’s agricultural frontier is pushing new boundaries. Deep in the heart of the country’s savannahs, vast fields of soya beans and corn are reshaping the landscape. But this is more than farming — it’s a revolution in food security, job creation, and regional trade. From Region Ten’s Tacama Savannahs to the banks of the Berbice River, the News Room’s Kurt Campbell and Shatanand Anude travelled on the ground to see how these mega farms are changing Guyana’s future.

  1. It’s GMO food if it’s not good for human consumption it’s not good to for animal consumption. This is how people get cancer. The state of Iowa has the largest cancer rate in America. You will see people with large tumors on their bodies as you travel through the state.

    Organic farming is best but not profitable for big pharma.

  2. Can guyana compete with all the countries producing these crops generations ago.and cheap. Guyanese r ambitious people and not into hard work for peanuts. The usa tried to get millennial into farming a decade ago but they chose technology where they make billions. Good luck guyana 🇬🇾.

  3. That's the minister and friend business..Guyanese would not benefit from that…Government officials are the farmers and exporters and they don't bring the proceeds to Guyana but Switzerland

  4. This is where the Dutch brought the black African slaves to work cotton plantations. This place has the blood sweat and tears of the black Africans who work here for free and help build Guyana. There is nothing new here. Lfs Burnham tried to revive this place by planting cotton, black eye peas, carrots, and other crops. The Guyana National Service was also here.
