We at the Agro-Investment Corporation would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for the overwhelming support received in response to Jamaica’s FIRST Drive-Thru Farmers’ Market hosted by us at our AMC Complex on April 29 and May 1, 2020. This venture was undertaken in an effort to collaborate with farmers and purveyors across the island in getting excess produce sold. The event was a great success as all produce acquired was sold off in record time.
As with any new project there will be glitches and this event was no different. With that said, we apologise sincerely to all those who purchased produce bags and were somewhat dissatisfied with what they received especially during our first staging on April 29.
After the event, we went back to the drawing board and corrected most if not all of the areas we fell short on. For the second staging on May 1, the event ran smoothly and we are hoping that persons who supported the venture were pleased with their purchases. Many persons applauded our efforts and for that we are most grateful.
We would like to thank our Minister of State in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Floyd Green for his tremendous support, as well as RADA, JIS, Jamaica Gleaner, Nationwide News, ZJ Sparks at ZIPFM, Paula-Ann Porter at RJR, Carol Francis at the Public Broadcasting Corporation of Jamaica, Althea McKenzie at POWER 106, Ron Muschette at MelloFM88 and countless others who assisted greatly in making the venture a success.
