Jamaica's agricultural sector will in short order receive a $9.4 billion boost by way of development assistance from the United Kingdom (UK).
The Gleaner newspaper says, during a recent interview, Asif Ahmad, UK's High Commissioner to Jamaica, explained that plans are afoot to create a sustainable irrigation system for local agriculture.
The project will address issues from water, to the fields, to the type of crops grown, how they are processed, and ensuring that they get to the markets in good state.
