Next step for transformation: Provision of Lands! There are immense opportunities within the sector, but we know access to lands is crucial. That is why we are happy to announce MORE LANDS for farmers! #ANewEra #ANewEraOfTransformation #NewFACEofFood #MoAFM #FloydGreen

We can't transform the agri sector without tackling praedial larceny. As such, we have ramped up our efforts, resulting in more arrests and more vehicles seized in 2024 than in 2023. We're just getting started! #ANewEra #ANewEraOfTransformation #NewFACEofFood #MoAFM #FloydGreen

"We are here to launch the largest irrigation scheme in the entire Caribbean region; but be mindful that when we say launch, it does not mean we are at the beginning of the process. Much work has already been done to make this concept a reality" Minister Floyd Green✨ #NewEra

Before this, the biggest irrigation initiative was our Ministry's Essex Valley Agricultural Development Project. That project provided irrigation to 2500 acres of land. Pedro plains will bring water to nearly 10,000 acres of land! PROGRESS IN MOTION‼️ #NewEraAgriculture
