I used to wonder why certain crops here were grown in green houses but then I realized. Most of them look inexpensive
But who knows. But seeing how they grow rice here is amazing, they have these irrigation systems that uses the rain water and water streams that can flow back into the stream with the turn of a pipe. Rice needs a lot of water. So I guess I’m saying , they could grow what world best in the rainy season at least if the infrastructure is costly in Suriname.

We do have a huge rice culture (culturally eating it and agriculturally growing it) here in Suriname and are even exporting rice. I should check to which countries we export to though 😅.

Nickerie, the district in the West that borders to Guyana, is our largest rice producing district, where we have micro and macro rice farmers.

The crops that has gotten mostly affected were the green vegetables and fruits. Those farmers should really start investing in modern techniques.

We have an acquaintance whose family has invested in hydroponics for tomatoes, bell peppers and strawberries (berries are still in the testing phase though) and their crops are doing well and the output is "guaranteed"; more than with traditional farming if you ask me. He also told us that he was willing to share his knowledge but found that most farmers were set in their (old) ways, so yeah what more could you do?
