Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining Minister Floyd Green says the ministry plans to spend $6 billion or $1 billion per year over the next six years to revive the agriculture sector.
He says the investment would include the upgrading of the Bodles Agricultural Research Station to meet international standards.
This will include the construction of a state-of-the-art piggery, which will enable advanced genetic research on pig breeds to further bolster the Jamaica’s pork industry.
Plans also include the construction of a modern goat house and dairy facilities, along with the upgrading of research laboratories.
Minister Green noted that approximately $1 billion has already been allocated for the project, now in its first year.
