Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha visits the new Bean Conditioning and Storage Facility at Kimbia in Region 10, where construction is progressing. Officials describe the project as a major agricultural infrastructure effort to strengthen Guyana’s ability to store, condition, and process beans.
According to coverage, the facility is designed to improve production handling in the Upper Demerara-Berbice area and support wider bean market goals. The Guyana Chronicle reports the development includes six silos for storage, while INews Guyana emphasizes that the facility is expected to boost Region 10 production and exports. Both accounts focus on the same site visit and the purpose of the facility, though they differ in emphasis between infrastructure capacity and anticipated production and export benefits.
