The Banana Board says 116 banana and plantain farmers will begin receiving payments totalling $20 million following the destruction caused by the passage of Hurricane Melissa.
Janet Coney, General Manager of the Banana Board, said the payments would be made to the farmers who were registered with the catastrophe insurance fund and will be disbursed following damage assessment.
Ms. Coney says the aim is to begin disbursement within a month.
The affected farmers will also get access to fertilisers.
