## Resource

The government is launching a nationwide expansion of farmers’ markets to slash food costs by cutting out middlemen, responding to a 6.7% price surge in the first half of the year—especially for veggies. Partnering with Guyana Marketing Corporation, they’re creating consistent, direct sales channels for farmers and consumers alike, aiming to shrink the gap between farmgate prices and retail tags. Building on earlier wins with chicken and eggs, this broader strategy targets produce to ease household grocery burdens and build a more resilient, affordable food system across the country.
