Why doesn’t the Government offer help to farmers concerning Fertilizer

Mar 12, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Late last year our President spoke of working with bilateral partners to arrest the rise in fertilizer prices in Guyana here. Yet farmers in Region 6 are still crying out for fertilizer prices of $10,000–12,000. Rice is $1900 for a small bag and will soon hit $2000. Produce prices will soon also rise. What steps has the government taken since our President made those remarks late last year?
I ask the news media to please make inquiries into this. The ones we elected to govern us do not care about what we have to pass through on a daily basis. I hope the rice farmers are taking note of the broken promises of this government just as it did with the coalition government. The PPP/C government that I helped vote into office keeps disappointing me and I’m sure a lot of my fellow Guyanese brothers and sisters and we need to remember this on election day come 2025 or even before as the PPP\C government continues to mishandle the O&G sector.
My contact number is 6612481 and please don’t post it.

Kind regards,
Brian Clementson
