The presentation of two weed eaters and other farming accessories from the Marketing and National Importing Board (MNIB) to the Carriacou Farmers Association (CFA) is the start of a closer working relationship between the two groups.

That’s the view of Byron Campbell, chairman of the board of directors of MNIB.

The MNIB presentation follows a September visit to several farming garden in Carriacou by members of MNIB.

Campbell described the Carriacou operation of the Marketing Board as one of the most profitable MNIB outlets.

CFA President Randolph Fleary, in expressing his gratitude to MNIB for the donation, said the items will aid in increasing farmers’ level of production as they continue striving to improve the agriculture sector in Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
