The triad communities of Petite Soufriere, San Sauveur and Good Hope are being urged to take farming more seriously and to take advantage of available opportunities.<\/p>\n

Agricultural Extension Officer for the East, Edward Constance was one of a number of panelists who participated in a discussion on Wednesday, on the way forward in reviving the Agricultural Sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are still opportunities for farmers in this community\u201d Constance emphasized.<\/p>\n

He is encouraging farmers in the area to be consistent and\u00a0 committed while ensuring that they are able to help produce crops for markets that depend on them.<\/p>\n

Constance also urged farmers to attend educational training seminars, get to know new techniques and go into the farming business on a large scale for better economic rewards.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Parliamentary Representative Johnson Drigo has suggested that the communities would benefit more from a \u201chome grown Huckster\u201d in their midst.<\/p>\n

The three communities have also been inform that they can look forward to a new feeder road (farm access road) coming on stream soon, as well as two new farmer groups and a boat for the shipment of Agricultural produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The triad communities of Petite Soufriere, San Sauveur and Good Hope are being urged to take farming more seriously and to take advantage of available opportunities.
