Ministry of Agriculture to Assist St Thomas farmers

Press play to hear how this initiative is now helping Jamaica to become self sufficient.

The Government has made a call for supermarkets and wholesalers to stock more locally made goods and produce. This as part of efforts to reduce the country’s import bill. Press play to hear more about this on today’s edition of calling farmers.
