PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Take back Caroni lands that are lying fallow and use them to produce food, says Independent Senator Subhas Ramkhelawan.
Speaking during the budget debate at the Senate sitting yesterday, Ramkhelawan said in the national budget, some $1.3 billion was allocated toward agriculture.
He noted that since the closure of Caroni (1975) Ltd, there were close to 50,000 acres of land in the country that were not being used to produce food.
