KINGSTON, Jamaica — The abrupt cancellation of National 4-H Achievement Day 2026 is not sitting well with Opposition Spokesman on Agriculture, Dr Dayton Campbell.

Campbell voiced his displeasure at the cancellation during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on June 3.

“The Minister (Floyd Green) spoke about youth engagement, training opportunities, and preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders. These are objectives that we should all support. However, the cancellation of National 4-H Achievement Day 2026 has raised concerns among students, parents, teachers, club leaders, and many stakeholders within the agricultural sector,” Campbell noted.
