Guyana’s Ministry of Agriculture says the country has received the first shipment of 300 pregnant heifers from Brazil as part of the government’s national herd-expansion programme. The initiative is designed to increase Guyana’s cattle population and strengthen the livestock industry, with the stated goal of boosting beef and dairy production. According to the ministry’s statement, the shipment marks the start of a larger procurement plan that totals 1,000 pregnant heifers. The sources report that the animals are being brought in to enhance the national breeding herd. The Ministry of Agriculture frames the programme as a key step in expanding cattle production capacity, although the reports provide limited additional details about timing for subsequent shipments, delivery arrangements, or funding and logistical terms. The information shared across outlets centers on the arrival of the first 300 heifers and the broader plan to import a total of 1,000 pregnant heifers from Brazil under the same programme.
