PHILIPSBURG:--- The Minister of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Development and Infrastructure (Ministry VROMI) Hon. Maurice Lake who is a steadfast supporter of the development of agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries, on Sunday visited the 7th Annual Agriculture Fair held at the Culture Garden in Bellevue.
"Agriculture, encourage it, do not discourage it. I fully agree agriculture is an area to be developed further. I was very impressed with what I saw at the fair on Sunday. I commend the organizers for a job well done. Perhaps something to pursue is a joint agriculture association comprising of different agriculturists and others with an affinity for the field coming together to collectively develop agriculture for the long-term," Minister Lake said on Monday.
