Victoria Greens is set to open a state-of-the-art US$2 million greenhouse before the end of 2025.
The new facility will boost production by an overall 250 tonnes of high-value crops annually, helping to significantly reduce Guyana's import bill for these commodities by at least 25 percent, according to Victoria Greens' Manager Roland Beckles-Lamazon.
Established just over a year ago, Victoria Greens has already made a major impact on Guyana's agriculture scene. The farm has expanded its production fourfold, currently growing around 15 types of crops with a total of 26 different varieties, including specialty lettuces like the green and red Lalique.
"Since we have started Victoria Greens, we have been in constant communication with our clients and customers, and through market research, we have noticed there is a need for specific crops that are imported in high quantities, and we are able to produce it, so why not grow it here?" Beckles-Lamazon said.
