Small farmers having issues selling excess produce

Small farmers are having a problem selling some of the excess poultry they are producing.

This is the word from President of the Barbados Egg and Poultry Producers Association, Stephen Layne.

Speaking in an interview with CBC News, he said some small farmers are feeling the weight of having to store their excess produce in commercial freezers.

Mr. Layne says most small farmers have come to a realisation that a freezer will be needed to combat these high storage fees.

Meanwhile, CEO of the Barbados Agricultural Society, James Paul, says there is a need for the organisation to have more accurate information, is it to make better decisions.

He says the BAS will be looking at putting on marketing programmes to help some farmers.

However, Mr. Paul is encouraging farmers to continue being innovative in the way they go about their marketing to generate sales.
