Prime Minister Skerrit proposes restructuring of Agriculture Investment Unit

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has proposed a restructuring of the Agriculture Investment Unit to encourage farmers to take a business approach to the sector.

Speaking on the second edition of his Anou Palay programme on Sunday, Mr. Skerrit said there was need for more accountability from commercial farmers, especially those who have received funds from the AID Bank on concessionary terms.

He is encouraging farmers to consider reinvesting the proceeds of their production into their farms for greater long term benefits.
