The government continued with its emphasis of involving youth in agriculture with the donating of supplies to an East Coast farmers’ group by the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA).
A release yesterday from the MoA informed that representatives from the Buxton-Friendship Farmers Group received a number of inputs and farming implements from the ministry to further encourage youth involvement in the agriculture sector.
The items included fertilisers, a mechanical tiller, forks, rakes, garden hoes, shovels, cutlasses, and files. The group comprises approximately 60 farmers, 30 of whom are young people.
