## Resource

Over 1,400 rice farmers in Region Six just pocketed over $862 million in relief grants—part of a $3 billion national push to bolster the rice industry. Cultivating more than 74,000 acres, these farmers are the backbone of Guyana’s food supply, and the government is stepping in hard to keep them afloat amid rising costs and global market chaos. Depending on land size, farmers received $15K or $10K per acre, with the Agriculture Minister personally handing out checks to show appreciation. This isn’t a one-time splash—just days prior, Region Five got $1.18 billion, and others followed. The message? The government is investing in agriculture, partnering with farmers to ensure food security and long-term resilience.
