The Government of Guyana is looking to the Dominican Republic for technical support to significantly expand local mango and avocado production, a move Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha says could open new opportunities for farmers and strengthen the country’s food production capacity.

Speaking recently, Mustapha said discussions with his Dominican Republic counterpart laid the foundation for a broader agricultural partnership, with crop development emerging as a key area of cooperation.

“There are a number of other areas that Guyanese can and will be benefiting from,” the minister said.
