The Hon. Floyd Green, visited our Ebony Agro Park in Clarendon on November 5, 2020, to ascertain the damage caused to investors’ farms by the heavy rainfall throughout October into November. Our Agro Parks team had recently completed a full assessment of the damage and losses to investors’ crops which amounted to approximately $132M. This information was passed on to the Minister as he toured each farmers’ plot and had discussions with them as to the actual crops that were ravaged by the heavy rains.
Our farmers are resilient and are making the necessary preparations to activate their recovery plans. Minister Green has assured them that the Ministry will be providing them with assistance through RADA for a speedier recovery.
