Farmers in Suriname continue to face significant challenges, including fluctuating prices, drought, excessive rainfall, and the impacts of climate change. Despite these hurdles, they remain the driving force behind the accelerated development of the agricultural sector. During the annual commemoration of Farmers’ Day, Minister Mike Noersalim of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries (LVV) highlighted President Jennifer Simons’ vision to expedite the sector’s growth. He honored Surinamese farmers, livestock breeders, and fishermen, emphasizing their indispensable role in national food security and the economy. ‘Let us honor our earth, support our farmers, and together build a Suriname where the land not only feeds us but enriches us,’ Noersalim declared. The minister described farmers as the nation’s beating heart and backbone, stating, ‘Without you, there is no food security; without you, there is no life.’ District Commissioner Glenda Kranenburg of Northwest also expressed profound gratitude to farmers, acknowledging their daily efforts to provide fresh produce, fish, and meat despite the challenges posed by climate change. Farmers’ Day was celebrated at the S. Kisoensingh Agricultural Market in Kwatta, where a floral tribute was paid at the Jai Kisan Farmers’ Monument. During a brief ceremony at the LVV office in Kwatta, Minister Noersalim emphasized that the day was not only a celebration but also a call to courage—a call to overcome the challenges faced by farmers. The program included a visit to the LVV Kwatta experimental garden, where the minister was visibly impressed by the production and announced the establishment of a climate-resilient greenhouse, which will also serve as an educational space for students. LVV is engaging with various farmers’ organizations to identify barriers in the sector and develop collaborative solutions. Noersalim stressed the importance of rejuvenating the sector and announced investments in agricultural education, urging schools to collaborate closely with LVV to share knowledge and prepare future generations for a sustainable and innovative industry. Steps have already been taken to strengthen the sector through partnerships with the Ministries of Oil, Gas, and Environment (OGM) and Education, Science, and Culture (OWC). Together with OGM, LVV will address the impacts of climate change on agriculture, while the collaboration with OWC focuses on innovation, accessibility, and consolidation of agricultural education. Both ministries will also work to encourage young people to pursue agricultural studies.
