Are the Chinese partnering with any local farmers to share their agricultural knowledge with our local farming community?
It is great that they share in the produce, but having locals as investors in this farming industry, both as actual farmers as well as financiers will boost our knowledge as well as finances.
Over 500 pounds is impressive. Hope it reaches those truly in need.
Appreciate the support
Why can’t we do this ourselves though? We have the land.
A kind gesture
Thank you to the Chinese embassy.
Good to see diplomatic ties benefiting the everyday people.
It’s easy. Just elect government ministers with an IQ higher than their shoe size.
No black man ever do that for other black man. In fact our own black brothers sold us as slaves to the other cultures and here we are.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ,teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” If only Antiguan was given some of those free land they would’ve been able to grow food too.
