The village of Ithaca is a vital hub for agriculture, with its residents dedicating their lives to cultivating crops and sustaining livestock, which significantly contributes to the local economy and food security of the region.
Agriculture in Ithaca is a way of life. The rich, fertile soil and favorable climatic conditions have allowed farmers to produce a diverse range of crops, including rice, sugarcane, vegetables, and various fruits. Additionally, livestock farming, particularly cattle and poultry, plays a crucial role in the community’s agricultural practices. These activities not only provide sustenance for the villagers but also generate income and employment, supporting many households.
We are preparing to address the importance of strengthening government policies to support farmers, not just in Ithaca but across the entire country. We believe that the future of Guyana’s agriculture lies in the hands of these hardworking individuals, and it is imperative that the government provides robust support to ensure their sustainability and growth.
