Guyana's agricultural sector will receive yet another boost as it continues to tackle food insecurity with the scheduled arrival of 300 black belly sheep from Barbados.
Guyana received the first flock of 132 sheep from Barbados in August last year, which consisted of 112 ewes and 20 rams.
Barbados agreed to send 1,000 sheep to Guyana.
Earlier this year, President Irfaan Ali launched the black-bellied sheep project in Region Five.
The programme was launched with an estimated US$3 million investment from the administration.
The breed is primarily raised for meat and other high-demand by-products.
