The Ministry of Agriculture is considering the implementation of an intensive response plan to ensure farmers are fully rehabilitated, says Agriculture Minister Dr Mahendra Reddy.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Dr Reddy said Tropical Cyclone Ana had caused further damages, including the greater Viti Levu.
He said considering its impact, the ministry estimated damages of around 10 per cent to vegetable farmers in the lower Sigatoka Valley area and about 60 to 80 per cent for vegetable farmers in Ba and Nadarivatu.
Dr Reddy said root crop farms in the Central Division were also affected by flooding in low lying areas with farmers experiencing more than 80 per cent damage to their crop.
