Agriculture Minister Roger Clarke says there has been an overwhelming response from farmers to the Ministry’s multi-million dollar ginger project, currently being implemented across the island.
Mr. Clarke says the 150 acres of land initially targeted for the planting of ginger has been exceeded.
221 acres is now in cultivation.
Mr. Clarke says this is a good sign for the sector which is receiving private sector support.
The ginger project is part of a 42 million dollar initiative which also involves the cultivation of turmeric.
