Guyana and International Year of Fruit & Vegetables – Second Instalment

The United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization (UNFAO) having declared 2021 International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV), it is expected that Guyana will play a lead role, not just locally, but at the level of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in ensuring that IYFV results in, among other things, an enhanced appreciation at the level of member countries of CARICOM of the importance of fruits and vegetables to the diet of their respective populations as well as, here in Guyana, a maximising of the local and overseas market opportunities that can be derived from fruit and vegetables sub-sectors of the agricultural sector.
