-critical works ongoing and other support honoured
ABARY farmers and residents have expressed satisfaction with the swift response of the Ministry of Agriculture and its agencies following a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud at Abary to discuss agricultural support.
During discussion with farmers at the meeting held on June 9, 2010 several concerns were raised, including repairs to the Onverwagt all weather road and bridge, which are ongoing, much to the satisfaction of farmers/residents of  Abary Creek.
Farmers have also benefitted from works being undertaken by an excavator to empolder homesteads in Abary Creek due to the vulnerability of the area to flooding.
In addition, resulting from the interaction with Minister Persaud, a meeting was arranged with cattle farmers and the Ministry of Home Affairs to discuss cattle rustling and other security concerns which are affecting farmers.
In this regard, the Mahaica Mahaicony Abary Agricultural Development Authority has also provided transportation for farmers of Abary Creek to attend this important meeting.
The Ministry of Agriculture has made several follow up visits to Abary and other surrounding communities with a sustained presence in the area, and to address farmers concerns.
Farmers expressed their appreciation for the swift and prompt response by the Ministry of Agriculture and pledged to continue working with technical officers to further boost agriculture development and expansion.
