Farmers across the country will now see a further $2 billion being invested into the agriculture sector, in an initiative announced by President Irfaan Ali yesterday,  which doubled the previous allocation and aims to address rising costs, enhance livelihoods and expand production.

The president made the announcement during an outreach in Anna Regina, Region Two, where he met with farmers and residents, and emphasised the government’s commitment to improving productivity and community development. “This is a government that understands the importance of investing in communities, investing in productivity, and investing in the holistic development and improvement in the lives of people.”
