Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha yesterday committed to providing assistance to Buxton farmers with regard to ongoing drainage and irrigation issues.
This commitment was made at a meeting with a number of farmers in Buxton. This was after the minister had met with representatives from the Buxton/Friendship farmers group at the minister’s weekly ‘Farmers Open Day’ last Friday.
A Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) release yesterday also stated that during the meeting, the farmers raised a number of issues and Mustapha made a commitment to having most of them addressed within the coming week.
