Also available in:
No results found.In mid-May 2021, Guyana began experiencing intense rainfall, leading to extensive flooding in several regions within the country, including the major agriculture production regions. The Government of Guyana declared a disaster in the country on 10 June 2021. The estimates from the Ministry of Agriculture (as of July 2021) revealed that the floods had damaged/affected: i) 22 246 acres of non-rice crops (vegetables, root crops, and herbs and spices), involving 18 665 farming households; ii) 7 422 livestock (poultry, ruminants, swine) farmers; and iii) 18 523 acres of rice. Furthermore, the Ministry estimated that a total of 18 837 acres of rice (involving 1 332 farmers) was highly exposed to flood risk over the following months. In March 2021, Suriname also began experiencing heavy rains following a “wet” and short dry season. Rainfall continued to increase over the following weeks and months with several days of intense, non-stop rains occurring throughout June 2021. These extreme rainfall events led to the flooding of two major rivers in the south of Suriname, partly or fully submerging various villages, their agricultural plots and other surrounding lands. Preliminary estimates from the Ministry of Agriculture indicated a total of 950 hectares of crops damaged, affecting 995 farmers. Qualitative disaster impact information also indicated loss of home-based poultry livestock, and loss or distress of livestock and disruptions to small-scale artisanal fishing activities. This emergency Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project aimed to provide emergency response and early recovery support to smallholder farmers most affected by the 2021 floods in Guyana and Suriname. -
