The Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) and the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) are coming in for harsh criticism after a group of farmers on the East Coast of Demerara accused the entities of abuse.

The cattle farmers are calling on the relevant authorities to intervene after GLDA and GuySuCo revoked their leases for lands at Mon Repos, ECD.
Together, the farmers rear about 100 heads of cattle and recently met with former Attorney General Anil Nandlall, in an effort to have their issues addressed.
Nandlall told Guyana Times that the farmers signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which clearly outlined that the Authority needed to give them at least six months’ notice before they could be evicted. However, this is not the case since the farmers are yet to receive official correspondence from the entities.
