WORK STARTS ON FARM ROADS IN ST. ANDREWS

St. George’s, Grenada, November 11, 2008: The Grenada government has signed a contract with Grenada Pavement and Construction Company for the rehabilitation of 2,513.42 feet of farm roads at Boulonge, St. Andrew’s. 

The project, at a cost of EC$573,594.15 is financed by the European Union under the Small Framework Assistance (SFA) 1999 Rural Sector support to the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Boulonge farm road is an important route for serving over twenty farmers.  It is also very important for access to the Grenada Cocoa Association propagating station which is currently used for producing cocoa and nutmeg plantlets.

The rehabilitation of this farm road will make it accessible by vehicles thereby allowing farmers to transport their crops to market without damage.

Work is also expected to commence shortly on the Windsor Farm Road. 

This is part of the Ministry of Agriculture/Kuwait funded Agricultural Feeder Roads Project. 

Windsor is estimated to have over 1000 acres of farm land that was cultivated mainly with banana and nutmeg.
