The
President Adama Barrow on Tuesday 19 November 2019 gave assurance of
distributing fertilizers among farmers on time, saying it would be as early as
July.
He
made this statement at Saba Sanjal and Salikenni communities in the North Bank
Region, during the second night of his Meet the People’s Tour.
President
Barrow said the distribution of fertilizers and other farming materials to
farmers will now be on time to avoid late preparation of farming.
In
a meeting at Salikenni in Central Badibou, the president said that his government
is committed to providing fertilizers for farming communities in the earliest
possible time yearly to boost the agricultural productivity in the country.
“The
minister has just said it here clearly that we are prepared to give farmers
fertilizers on time in order to avoid late preparation of their farming
seasons.”
He
said his government has not only realised the importance of farming in
Salikenni and other communities but also provided them with some farming
implements to show its commitment to agriculture.
