Utilizing Natural Resources for Agricultural Growth

• Abundant Arable Land and Fresh Water: Guyana’s vast expanse of fertile land and plentiful fresh water are central to its strategy for ensuring food security. These resources are being harnessed to stabilize food prices and secure a steady supply, both regionally and globally.
• Investment from Oil Revenues: The wealth generated from oil production is being reinvested into the agriculture sector. This move is designed to expand domestic agricultural output and reduce dependency on food imports.
• Regional Leadership: Guyana is taking the lead within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) by spearheading an initiative aimed at reducing the region’s food import bill by 25% by 2025.
