A TRANSFORMATIVE agricultural initiative backed by President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s administration is yielding strong returns for Guyana’s cattle industry, with farmers across Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) reporting notable improvements in productivity and herd quality.
At the forefront of this revival is the Bull Rotation Programme, a flagship effort led by the Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) under the Ministry of Agriculture. The programme is designed to improve the genetic makeup, resilience, and productivity of cattle herds nationwide—critical components of Guyana’s contribution to CARICOM’s “25 by 2025 plus 5” food security agenda.
