Agricultural Society laments slow pace at which farmers are receiving help post Hurricane Beryl

Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS) president Lenworth Fulton is lamenting the slow pace at which help is being received by farmers whose farms were devastated by Hurricane Beryl last month.

The hurricane decimated farms and greenhouses in several parishes, leaving farmers scrambling to restore their livelihood.

While there have been pledges of support from both government and private sector in recent weeks, the agricultural society president says the tangible support has been slow in reaching farmers in need.

He says that while he is thankful for the pledges, farmers need to start receiving assistance to ramp up the recovery effort.

Mr. Fulton conceded that some items from the private sector have been distributed to farmers.

He noted however that a lot of private aid has been handed over to the government and is yet to reach farmers.

Mr. Fulton believes that private sector assistance should not be routed through the government.
