Hosororo is a community in the Mabaruma area of Barima-Waini, Region 1. Farming and agricultural processing are recurring themes in official accounts of the area, placing it within the North West’s network of producers and markets.
From crops to products
DPI’s agricultural reporting has identified Hosororo with turmeric and ginger processing. A 2026 account described its processing facility as supporting these industries, while earlier reports recorded work on planting material and crop diversification. This is an example of how farming communities can add value to produce beyond selling the raw crop.
Hosororo Creek and energy
The Guyana Energy Agency’s May 2017 account described plans to redevelop a micro-hydropower site at Hosororo Creek, southwest of Mabaruma. It also recorded an earlier installation from the late 1980s that had subsequently been abandoned. This history explains the creek’s place in discussions about local energy; it should not be read as confirmation of the plant’s present operating status.
Hosororo can be explored alongside the region’s other farming communities and the existing Mabaruma feature. Imbotero offers a contrasting riverine perspective, while Port Kaituma also appears in official reporting on Region 1 spice processing.
