Roxanne is a coastal community in Guyana's Essequibo Islands - West Demerara Region, located about 30 kilometers west of the capital, Georgetown, near the mouth of the Essequibo River, with a unique landscape of tropical rainforests and marine transition zone. The local economy is based on agriculture and fisheries, and residents are mostly engaged in rice cultivation, tropical fruit cultivation and offshore fishing, and agricultural products are mainly supplied to neighboring towns and the capital market.
