Guyana has assured the CARICOM market that there is sufficient rice and there are shipments on the way to Grenada.

There were rumours that there was a shortage of rice in Guyana due to bad weather, and another which claimed that supplies were being reserved for Guyana’s domestic market.

However, the St Vincent Times reports that four containers of rice sailed on September 19th with one Grenadian company getting its shipment on Friday.

Another will receive its allotment next week while five additional containers of rice are expected to leave Guyana on October 3rd.
