$10 million in support has been provided to fire-affected coffee farmers in Westphalia, St. Andrew.
A recent fire affected over 83 acres of coffee land and over 35 farmers.
Speaking at the handing-over ceremony of agricultural supplies to the farmers, Agriculture Minister Floyd Green said the Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Regulatory Authority (JACRA) provided farmers with chemical packages, fertilizers and coffee seedlings.
Mr. Green highlighted the challenges faced by the blue mountain coffee farmers over the last two years.
He urged the farmers who received support to return to their fields and begin replanting.
