Farmers from Baracara and other communities along the Canje Creek in Region Six say they are satisfied with the government’s response to their concerns but want soil tests and fertilisers to help increase their output.
This was stated in a release yesterday from the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) which also said that several major infrastructural works have commenced aimed at improving drainage and irrigation systems within the above mentioned farming communities.
According to the release, this was a direct result of a visit by President Irfaan Ali late last year to the communities and his commitment to assist them. The Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha did a follow-up visit yesterday to engage farmers and assess some of the ongoing infrastructural works.
