New Minister of Agriculture (Jamaica) Wants More Young People In The Sector
“Newly appointed Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Floyd Green, wants to see more young people involved in farming as a viable business, a stronger agricultural research and development framework, and an increase in the island’s agricultural export offerings.”
As stated by the newly appointed Minister:
“I definitely want to see more young people incorporated. I want to see a stronger research and development framework. I want to see our educational institutions, especially tertiary, moving from research into putting things into practice, out in the fields, out in the sea. I think that is very important, and I want to see an expansion of our export market…I want to see export growing,” he said.”
