Nickerie



         


Nickerie is a district of Suriname, on the western coast. Nickerie's capital city is Nieuw Nickerie, the second largest city in the country.

Nickerie has a population of 41,080 and an area of 5,353km².

Relations between Suriname and neighbouring Guyana have always been tense, and border disputes in the south of the country (with occaisonal sporadic fighting) mean that ports of entry to Guyana from Suriname are few. One such port is in Nickerie, a ferry that sails between Springlands and the district of Nickerie.

Much rice is grown in Nickerie.
