Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley yes­ter­day met with stu­dents who are en­rolled in the Guyana School of Agri­cul­ture’s train­ing and en­tre­pre­neur­ship pro­gramme, as part of his vis­it to the Caribbean na­tion for the Agri-In­vest­ment Fo­rum and Ex­po.

Dr Row­ley was part of a con­tin­gent of Cari­com lead­ers who vis­it­ed the school and not­ed that the Min­istry of Youth De­vel­op­ment and Na­tion­al Ser­vice re­cent­ly launched a sim­i­lar pro­gramme.

The in­au­gur­al Agri-In­vest­ment Fo­rum and Ex­po opened at the Arthur Chung Con­fer­ence Cen­tre on Thurs­day, and Guyana’s Pres­i­dent Dr Mo­hamed Ir­faan Ali said it clear­ly proves Cari­com’s readi­ness to col­lec­tive­ly dri­ve the re­gion’s food pro­duc­tion sys­tem.

He said the re­gion­al lead­ers stand ready to ad­vance every as­pect of the food sec­tor, whether in pro­duc­tion, trade re­la­tions, is­sues of mar­kets and bar­ri­ers, trans­port and lo­gis­tics.
