In a significant move to bolster agricultural productivity, Prime Minister Browne announced the acquisition of two 20-ton trucks and an excavator for the Ministry of Agriculture. These resources are earmarked to assist farmers in constructing ponds and dams on their farms, as well as preparing sub-base layers for farm roads. This initiative aims to enhance water management and improve transportation infrastructure, crucial for the efficiency of agricultural operations. Additionally, the government plans to install solar lights on farms to facilitate night work, thereby extending the working hours and potentially increasing output. This dual approach of providing heavy machinery and renewable energy solutions underscores the government’s commitment to modernizing the agricultural sector and supporting local farmers in Antigua.
