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

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Barbuda Affairs regrettably is unable to host the 13th\u00a0 <\/sup>annual Mango Fest<\/em> this year.<\/p>\n

Several reasons have contributed to this decision.<\/p>

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

First and foremost, \u00a0the lateness of Primary Mangoes this year and secondly, the Ministry is currently in the process of coordinating two major agriculture initiatives which require the full focus of the Technical Personnel.<\/p>

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

However, it is the ministry\u2019s intention to widen the scope of the Festival for 2019 with the hope of having a bigger and better Mango Fest<\/em> than those held in the past.<\/p>\n
