Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Samantha Marshall met yesterday with <\/span><\/span>key <\/span><\/span>technicians and senior staff and they fu<\/span><\/span>rther discu<\/span><\/span>ssed significant<\/span><\/span> ways to boost<\/span><\/span> the agricultural food chain amid COVID-19 concerns and the likely effects it could have on the agricultural sector.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Minister Marshall underscored the importance of working closely with all farmers and key agricultural partners to ensure that food an<\/span><\/span>d nutrition security remains a priority <\/span><\/span>especially at this time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Minister Marshall said that it cannot be business as usual and all <\/span><\/span>the necessary measures must be put in place<\/span><\/span> to keep production at maximum level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The provision of <\/span><\/span>excess <\/span><\/span>planting material and assisting farmers with the preparation of additional lands for crop<\/span><\/span> production were among other key areas examined.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Marshall<\/span><\/span> noted that with<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>interruption in<\/span><\/span> trade <\/span><\/span>that will hamper adequate food supply and <\/span><\/span>the local demand on supermarkets and other suppliers <\/span><\/span>which still remain, increase in local agricultural production is fundamental.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The minister of Agriculture also used the opportunity to encourage the general public to buy and eat local and find creative ways to integrate more local fruits and vegetables into daily meals. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Minister Marshall<\/span><\/span> urged all departments withi<\/span><\/span>n the ministry to mobi<\/span><\/span>lize<\/span><\/span> their efforts to ensu<\/span><\/span>re that agriculture contributes more meaningful<\/span><\/span> to the economy<\/span><\/span> way beyond COVID-19.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senior<\/span><\/span> Exten<\/span><\/span>sion Officer Mr. Owolabi Elabanjo<\/span><\/span> said that<\/span><\/span> in this COVID-19 strategic approach to agriculture<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> the ministry has been engaging all aspects of agriculture- from crop production, livestock and poultry in terms of gettin<\/span><\/span>g<\/span><\/span> them<\/span><\/span> in<\/span><\/span>to<\/span><\/span> a better position even beyond COVID-19.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2018As we all know, most borders are being closed so in Antigua and Barbuda<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> we are engaging every living Antiguan and Barbudan to be engaged in what we call <\/span><\/span>a\u201dStrategic<\/span><\/span> Food Security <\/span><\/span>Programme<\/span><\/span>,\u2019<\/span><\/span> and we are not only focusing on the large scale farmers or the small scale<\/span><\/span> farmers; <\/span><\/span>we are engaging each and every<\/span><\/span> one in their backyard<\/span><\/span>, like<\/span><\/span> what the prime minister have said, to engage in the food security programme\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mr. Elabanjo<\/span><\/span> assured the public that work will begin on ploughing agricultural lands for farmers and minor cleaning will also take place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He als<\/span><\/span>o announced that 10<\/span><\/span> thousand or more seedlings<\/span><\/span>will be distributed<\/span><\/span> to <\/span><\/span>back yard gardeners<\/span><\/span> and farmers<\/span><\/span>from <\/span><\/span>Monday, so<\/span><\/span> that they can be engaged in further providing fo<\/span><\/span>od nutrition and security amid<\/span><\/span> this COVID<\/span><\/span>– <\/span><\/span>9 era.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
