Thirty famers in St. Elizabeth were supplied with organic fertilizer by the SJFHS and several of its international suppliers in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries. Fifty-eight famers in the parish will also be given vouchers to purchase items from farm stores. This is aimed at supporting the farmers recovery from damage caused by heavy rains earlier this year.
