Govt to partner with stakeholders to upgrade Puruni road
On the heels of a meeting between Natural Resources Minister Vickram Bharrat and Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) President Rafeek Khan, it has been announced that the Government will take various measures aimed at, among other things, boosting production in the forestry sector.
“Several large-scale forest concessionaires were unable to extract timber in areas such as Puruni where there are vast resources and under-producing for over a decade. It was also noted by the Minister that there would be no tolls at the bridge since the company will assist the Government with the provisioning of the infrastructure then the State will maintain after its completion,” the statement explained.
This land, according to GMSA, is “to initiate the first model of a Consolidated Log Yard to benefit the forestry sector especially since the emergence of the many challenges linked to climate change such as adverse weather patterns and to further benefit small loggers in their marketing process. Small loggers would have a facility to store their timber products at a central location for easy access to buyers.”
