Agri surplus should be used as aid

Dear Editor,

The recent natural disaster experienced by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is very unfortunate indeed. It is a time to provide aid to those who have been displaced, and given the current agriculture surplus in the country the government should consider purchasing the goods for the aid package from our local farmers. Our sympathy goes out to those affected on the island. 

Sincerely, 
Jamil Changlee
