A leading supplier of farm produce to supermarkets in Jamaica is urging farmers to grow crops that are in high demand and to identify their markets before planting.
Damian Young, chief executive officer of Home Grown Produce said he needs contract farmers to grow red peas, peanuts, yams and sweet potatoes to supply to local and overseas markets.
“Reach out to us at Home Grown produce; we will be happy to provide you with a contract to grow these crops”, Young said in an online forum staged by the Jamaica Business Development Corporation on Wednesday (March 10).
Prices of farm produce have fluctuated wildly in recent weeks. Tomatoes for example have tumbled from a high of $800 in Christmas to $30 last month. The subsequent glut has seen farmers dumping tonnes of tomatoes for which they have no market.
