Honey project, 500 coconut plants for Santa Aratack to advance agriculture

“In three years, between the trees, between the 500 coconut trees that we will plant and the more than 200 citrus trees that we will plant, I want to see ecolodges,” the President said.

He also mentioned that he would like to see the community producing and exporting their own chicken and poultry products.

He envisions that within the next couple years, the community will be an agricultural hub and with the community’s support “next year in a bigger way we will be here again celebrating the fruits of thy labour.”

Additionally, 50 bags of fertilizer, two chainsaws, a fogging machine, mist blower, cutlasses and insecticide, among other items, were handed over to further develop agriculture in the community.

Meanwhile, President Ali also revealed that the community will also benefit from internet services that should be up and running by Wednesday afternoon.

Other initiatives include; a $19 million well that is set to begin construction in two weeks; the expansion of pipe networks in the community to the value of $10 million; the construction of a kitchen and fence for the primary school; and 40 HP engine and boat for the community.

Commitments were also made to clean the creek in the area.

“We will engage the community here and you will work with us on cleaning the creek, ensuring the free flow of the creek,” President Ali said.
