FAO/MOA World Food Day climaxed with a successful Seedlings Distribution & Night Market by Brent Simon and Carol-Faye Bynoe-George

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture/Agricultural Extension Division (AED) held its final event to commemorate World Food Day on Sunday 20th October. The extra ordinary occasion according to Mr. Ika Fergus surpassed all expectations of the organizing team.
Profound gratitude is extended to those that supported and were responsible for this tremendous accomplishment. This were the agro-proccessors, farmers, the entertainers such as Ebonite Steel Orchestra and Menace. “I would like express great appreciation and gratitude to the members of the organizing team, the agricultural community, those who provided entertainment and to persons from the general public for their support and attendance at the first ever Seedlings Distribution and Night Market, hosted by the FAO and Agricultural Extension Division in honour of World Food Day 2024”, expressed Mr. Fergus/FAO Correspondent and Extension Officer.
Local entrepreneurs used the opportunity to display and sell their produce and products. It was very pleasing to see the efforts placed into the processing and packaging of the various products and all there was to offer. The feedbacks of the event were of praise, of encouraging words and recommendations for repeaters in the near future. It was suggested that such events should be on a quarterly basis but with the next one as early as December 2024.
