Agriculture Minister, Ravi Ratiram says Government’s 0.987 billion dollar allocation to the sector is a clear sign that food security remains a national priority.
Speaking at the World Food Day celebrations on Friday, Minister of Agriculture & Fisheries, Ravi Ratiram said the country’s food systems must become more resilient and less dependent on imports, noting that the allocation for agriculture in the 2027 Budget is structured to do just that.
“This is not merely a line item in the budget, it is a statement of priority and an investment in our nation’s resilience to produce our own food.”
