Potato farmers should collect their slips and pay at the Dominica Export Import Agency (DEXIA) cashier in Roseau. Thereafter, collect the seeds at the DEXIA Multi-Purpose Pack House on Goodwill Road from 8 AM to 1 PM, from Monday to Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He also extends to all the white potato farmers a wonderful white potato planting season to reduce our import bill, grow what we eat, and eat what we grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"White potato farmers across Dominica can now purchase white potato seeds for the white potato planting season.
