Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining Minister Floyd Green says the Government has allocated $800 million to construct 95 greenhouses across four parishes before the end of 2026.

Of the 95 greenhouses, 40 will be established in Mocho, Clarendon; 20 in Water Valley and 15 in Black Stone Edge in St. Ann; 10 in Lancaster, Manchester, and 10 in Damhead, St Catherine.

In his Sectoral Debate presentation on Wednesday, Green noted that protected agriculture is critical in building resilience in the climate-vulnerable sector, and as such, the Government has embarked on the “largest outlay of protected agriculture structures in our history”.
