I did and as for logics...That is the point of the OP in this thread.

Roger Clarke is a dyam hypocrite. One of the worst ministers out there.
Chats a lot of crap and has lousy performance.

Huuuuhhhh.... I thought they all laughed at Mr. Tufton when he said this? How is it Mr. Clarke is now championing cassava?

So why since the PNP and he (Clarke) took over the reigns, suddenly agricultural outputs in most of the sector fell sharply? And the statistics speak for themselves, don't they?
Then it would appear that the Agriculture minister in the previous JLP led administration was doing a spectacular job. Dr Tufton !!!!!

Dr. Tufton was the one of the best ministers in a long while. He had vision and innovation.

Does it take trinidadians to convince Mr. Clarke that we could use cassava as components in bread ? I see why they come , buy our badly run companies and make them profitable.

The reason for the fall in production is very clear, when cassava was been promoted the then opposition scoffed at and gave no support to the idea. However now they are the government it is a wonderful idea. Just little things like these that keep us forever behind the eight ball. Smh.....

Jamaica importing cucumber, pork carrot, watermelon, pepper and lettuce is shameful. It is just irresponsible. The Govt should declare products like these, which can very easily be grown locally, barred from importation. The hotels should foster partnerships with local farmers to source their needs.

I remember Dr. Tufton being ridiculed because he was advocating for more cassava production. I notice that many of the ideas that the JLP had and we shunned by the PNP are now being considered. I wonder if Jamaicans are really seeing which party has better vision and is more capable of leading.

Source markets

While encouraging Government to continue on the path to increased agricultural production, Clarke said Government had to ensure that farmers could find markets for their products or the move would be counter productive.

On the issue of cassava production, Clarke urged the minister, "don't oversell it".

[Skeng DX]

I do not see any fight against production...all I see is the vague word 'opposition'
