Agriculture Minister, Peter David, is urging the GCNA (Grenada Co-operative Nutmeg Association) to understand the value of the lessons learned from COVID-19.
He believes such benefits are there to be utilized, as a means of the GCNA returning to pre-COVID-19 production and sale levels.
The GCNA, the governing body for the Nutmeg Industry, recorded in excess of 8.6 million EC dollars, which was generated from the sale of one million, forty-two thousand and forty-three pounds (1,042,043) of nutmegs last year.
According to the organization, 6.8 million of that money was paid out to Nutmeg Farmers.
Delivering remarks at the GCNA Annual General Meeting in St. Andrew last week, Grenada’s Agriculture Minister told the farmers that COVID-19 is a perfect opportunity that should not be wasted.
