Dear Editor,
The recent commissioning of the Turmeric factory in Hososroro Hill in Mabaruma in Barima-Waini will provide immediate economic empowerment to the region through job opportunities among other benefits by empowering the people and creating jobs in these communities.
More than 50 farmers from turmeric producing communities of Region One, namely Arukamai, Barima River, Aruka River, Hotoquai, Port Kaituma, Morawhanna, Hobodia, Yarakita, Aruau, Koberimo, St. Anslym, Kachi Kamo, Black Water, Kamwatta, Wauna and White Water have benefitted from planting materials, technical advice and training through the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI)
The farmers are now assured of a ready market at the turmeric processing factory which can process one ton every three days in terms of processing and drying. Through this factory, fresh turmeric will also readily be available for export to neighbouring districts and regions, thus creating more markets.
Sincerely,
Shauna Williams
