Agriculture Ministry Pushing for Sugar Expansion | Jamaica Information Service: "The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries is pushing to expand the local sugar industry and bring back some 20,000 hectares of land into sugar cane production, over the next four years.
Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Roger Clarke, made the announcement at a seminar on: ‘Revolutionising the Sugar Cane Industry through Drip Irrigation’, held in Kendal, Manchester, on July 26. The seminar was hosted by Jamaica Drip Irrigation.
Mr. Clarke told the large group of farmers and other industry personnel that, “we are about 12,000 (hectares) now and we need to lift that. We have to put back all those idle lands into production."
He also noted that farmers need to lift the tonnes per acre yield from the low of 50 and 54 tonnes. “At that rate, we are not competitive and especially in the irrigated areas, because the cost of irrigation water is almost prohibitive regardless of what the government does,” said the Minister."
