After securing a grant of more than US$645,000 last year from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), a progressive group of agriculturalists from Jeffrey Town, St Mary, is planning to use the funding to launch a series of local community development projects throughout 2016.

According to president of the Jeffrey Town Farmers Association (JTFA) Wordsworth Gordon, the projects include installing renewable-energy systems and establishing a facility to produce Irish potato seeds and starches from crops such as breadfruit.
