The Ministry of Agriculture and Representatives from the grain-growing communities of Blue Creek, Shipyard, Indian Creek, Spanish Lookout, Neuland, and Little Belize have convened to discuss the production of soybeans, sorghum, and various types of beans (Red Kidney, Pinto, Black Eye), as well as corn cultivation.

The meeting, held at Blue Creek, aims to provide a platform for local farmers, agricultural experts, and government officials to collaboratively tackle issues affecting grain production. Key topics on the agenda include:

Discussion on the latest developments in pest and disease control, sharing best practices, and exploring innovative solutions to protect their crops, weather conditions, climate change, and strategies to mitigate these challenges.

The Ministry of Agriculture, as part of its commitment to the local farming communities, regularly gathers valuable information through field visits. These visits assist in reporting, monitoring, and providing support to address issues on the ground.

The exchange of knowledge and expertise at this meeting is expected to lead to practical solutions that will benefit not only Blue Creek but also the entire grain-growing sector in the region. The Ministry of Agriculture looks forward to a fruitful discussion and collaboration between all the stakeholders involved.
