Immediate past president of the Jamaica Agricultural Society, Lenworth Fulton, says he supports the opposition's call for a dedicated fund to develop the agriculture sector, financed by the taxes on imported food.
The proposal was made by Opposition Spokesman on Agriculture Dr. Dayton Campbell.
Mr. Fulton welcomed the proposal, noting that the agriculture sector is hampered by the lack of affordable financing, poor rural road network as well as a lack of marketing and processing facilities.
