Thirty-five young people are now equipped with the skills needed to build successful careers in agriculture.

The students, from a number of secondary and tertiary institutions, graduated from the Youth Farm Programme, facilitated by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture and several Government departments.

At a ceremony held in the seminar room at Sky Mall today, participants were recognised for their hard work and dedication throughout the eight-week initiative, which was divided into four categories: crop production, livestock rearing, general poultry production and aquaculture grow-out operations.
