Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha meets with livestock farmers from communities along Guyana’s East Coast of Demerara (ECD) and pledges to examine and follow up on their concerns, as part of the Ministry of Agriculture’s effort to engage directly with producers.
Both outlets report that the meeting is focused on identifying practical interventions to support the livestock sector’s growth and sustainability. Farmers raise multiple issues affecting their operations during the engagement, prompting the minister’s commitment to review the problems and determine what action the government can take.
While neither report details the specific concerns or the interventions in the provided excerpts, the coverage aligns on the broad approach: continued consultation with farmers and stakeholders, assessment of constraints on production, and follow-up steps intended to strengthen livestock farming along the ECD. The Chronicle emphasizes an “immediate” examination and subsequent follow-up, while INews Guyana frames the meeting as ongoing outreach aimed at pinpointing workable support measures.
