Engineers from the Ministry of Agriculture are to visit the East Bank village of Mocha Arcadia to assess problems being experienced there and develop a plan of action.
This decision came after Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha met on Friday with a team of farmers and Neighbourhood Democratic Council representatives from the village at his Regent Street office.
A release from his ministry said that during the meeting, the representatives raised issues around drainage and irrigation, the development of farmland and access to potable water among other things.
Mustapha told the team that the ministry was willing to execute all the works that fall within his sector and that a team of engineers will be visiting the village within the next few days to develop a plan of action.
He also told the team that extension officers from the ministry will work to help farmers to improve their crops and livestock operations.
