A shipment of 5,160 sacks of fertiliser from Taiwan will be distributed to farmers at highly subsidised prices to boost further agricultural production.
A grant, free of cost, of 40 sacks of fertiliser to each of the 16 registered agricultural cooperatives will be made.
Meanwhile, the physical infrastructure of SVG’s judicial system and parliamentary democracy will be strengthened.
This is consequent upon the recent decision of the government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to support a soft-loan of US $20 million from a Taiwanese bank to construct a modern Parliament building and Court House Complex on two parcels of land almost obliquely opposite the headquarters of the Ministry of Agriculture on Richmond Hill Road.
One of the parcels of land which was acquired by the government, is still enmeshed in litigation on the issue of the extent of the compensation.
