Amid plummeting global rice prices, soaring input costs like fertilizer, and regional instability, the government is not just handing out cash but also rolling out a multi-pronged support strategy: lowering production costs, boosting yields, and encouraging crop diversification. A massive new drying and storage facility on the Essequibo Coast is set to launch in five years, while this year alone sees $1 billion invested in climate-controlled silos. Past support includes fertilizer aid, seed distribution, pest control, price floor guarantees, crop insurance, and tax relief — all aimed at building long-term resilience for the sector.
