Guyana’s government says its Black Belly Sheep Programme is expanding and is already producing results for farmers. Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha, speaking in an interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI) on Monday, said the initiative has grown the national black belly sheep stock to more than 3,000 animals. Mustapha also stated that the programme is benefiting more than 500 farmers. The government characterizes the expansion as a boost to the local livestock sector, saying it supports increased production within Guyana. According to the accounts from both outlets, the programme also helps reduce reliance on imported livestock products by strengthening local supply. Both reports focus on the same developments: the rise in herd numbers above 3,000, the scale of participation by farmers exceeding 500, and the programme’s stated aim of improving domestic production. The articles do not provide detailed figures on imports or production volumes beyond the general claims attributed to the minister.
