Minister of Agriculture- " Fill in The Blanks"!
The Minister of Agriculture Mr. Benstrong has gone on SBC to announce that a catapillar is ravaging tomato plants, attacking the leaf of the of the plant, cutting off circulation of the plant. The Minister has said he is imposing a ban on importation of tomatoes from South Africa, Egypt, other destinations. I suppose this is one way to " price control" imported tomatoes which cost SCR. 140.00 per kilo.
Fill in The Blanks
The Minister gave a big presentation concerning this worm. He said that South Africa will be banned from exporting tomatoes to Seychelles. What the Minister did not think of is tomato exporters will simply export via Kenya, or Ethiopia. Minister failed to detail a comprehensive position on the ban. Is this how Ministry of Agriculture manages agricultural production?
No Snail Pellets Two Months
Minister encouraged farmers to run, start planting tomato plants to meet the new found demand, resulting from the ban, over ridding World Trade Organization ( WTO) treaty. Yet Minister has yet to insure that provision stores have snail pellets to apply the theory to the a la practical! Snail pellets have not been seen by farmers for over two Mao this now. How can you plant tomatoes without snail pellets? Hic!
Grow Fish In Marine Park
Meanwhile, a plan is under way to grow fish in the marine park in front of Anse Possession, where the biggest grouping of the Seychelles under world lairs. Mitcy Larue resides in the area occasionally. As the fish grow, they will make it to the dining tables of the criminal elite, before they ever make it to market, trust me.
Pig Meal and Chicken Feed
Ministry cannot maintain adequate supply of animal feed. How will it maintain adequate supply of fish meal to grow fish? Has it studied the Praslin Farmers Proposal to plant corn across Farquhar island?
For agriculture to succeed we need real professionals to come forward and set the agenda, not people who never planted a thing in their life, and took it to market for rerun on investment ( ROI).
Sesel Pou Seselwa!
May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellois!

Praslinois proposal is genuine ...instrad of giving Glennz our outter islands to operate secretive ,,busineses ///our outter island could be use for chicken farming thus stop importation of over doyed antibiotic chickens from Brayil ...therebz create bio products locally.....
Figure this out ...would Seychelles produces locally chickens ,,it does not just reduce independence of chicken import from Brazil but using by/products and waste materials for animal feeds ...something commonly made in western world...
BZcatch discarded into ocean is another alternatives to produce animal feeds...
seaweeds ..another one ...and pl still fails to deliver.....
