Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Government of Dominica has committed $20,000 to the Good Hope Farmers Cooperative Society Limited. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit made the announcement during the cooperative\u2019s official registration ceremony held on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came here to make a commitment, but I think you have suggested that it is doubled and that you have asked for a grant of $20,000 to help your cooperative to better serve its members,\u201d Skerrit said. \u201cI want to say to you that the government will provide the $20,000 to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the government looks forward to continued collaboration with the cooperative through the Ministry responsible for programmatic engagements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interim President of the Good Hope Farmers Cooperative Society Limited, Ashile Grove, in addressing attendees at the ceremony, revealed that the cooperative\u2019s formation followed more than a year of discussions, beginning with Cooperative Officer Shirley Joseph.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great honor to stand before you today to celebrate a milestone that means so much to our farming community\u2014the official registration of the Good Hope Farmers Cooperative Society Limited,\u201d Grove said.<\/p>\n

He stated that the cooperative was formed in response to shared challenges, including poor market access, low produce prices, and limited resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we held onto one thing, and that was hope. Together we have pooled our skills, land, tools, and passion together and we are here today,\u201d Grove added.<\/p>\n

He outlined the cooperative\u2019s vision to pursue smart, sustainable, and inclusive agriculture, with goals to empower youth, embrace innovation, protect the environment, and contribute to food security in Dominica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Government of Dominica has committed $20,000 to the Good Hope Farmers Cooperative Society Limited.
