Guyana-Venezuela rice deal collapses
– thousands of farmers could be affected
By Gomatie Gangadin
Thousands of farmers are expected to be affected over the coming months as the Venezuelan Government has refused to renew the rice trade agreement with Guyana, leading to the virtual collapse of the entire deal which ends November this year.
The historic rice deal sealed by the previous People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela several years ago saw Guyana receiving oil in exchange for rice.
