The meeting was held to facilitate agro-producers around the country as the new curfew regulations are implemented this weekend. Curfew regulations often affect producers who sometimes need to move animals and essential products during the hours of curfew. The Ministry of Agriculture has taken a leadership role in ensuring producers are affected as little as possible by curfew regulations, as the productive sector is important to the wellbeing of the nation.
