Government announces it will clear up to five acres of farmland for every farmer in Nabaclis, according to Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha. Mustapha makes the commitment during a Friday outreach after residents raise concerns at a recent meeting with President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali.
Both outlets report the same core details: the initiative is aimed at providing alternative land for cane growers in the Nabaclis area. The announcements frame the move as a response to local complaints about farmland access or availability. The Guyana Chronicle specifies that the farmers affected are “Cane Grove farmers,” while INews Guyana describes the beneficiaries more generally as “Nabaclis” farmers. Neither outlet provides figures beyond the “up to five acres” commitment or outlines a timeline or funding mechanism in the excerpts provided.
