Farmers in Region Five have received a boost to their efforts with the issuing by the government of leases for agriculture pursuits.
A release from the Ministry of Agriculture yesterday informed that its Mahaica, Mahaicony, Abary-Agriculture Development Authority (MMA-ADA) had hosted its annual Open Day activity at its Onverwagt office. Among the activities was the issuance of 128 leases for agricultural purposes to farmers from Region Five.
It noted that the issuance of leases for lands is usually the most important event of the Open Day, which was hosted for the first time in two years due to the Covid-19 restrictions which were introduced to curb the global pandemic.
