Nine months into the presidency of the vast, resource-rich CARICOM state in South America, the 41-year-old sought to reassert Guyana’s long-held identity “breadbasket of the Caribbean”. He invoked the name of a past president’s pro-farming policy as he urged the 15-nation bloc to eat more of what it grows, slash its $9 billion (US$4.5 billion) food import bill and improve health and nutrition.
