By BBN Staff: Today, the Valley of Peace Farmers Association accompanied by the Chairman of Valley of Peace and representatives from Valley of Peace Farms Ltd. met with personnel from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture to discuss a longstanding land dispute over farmland in the Valley of Peace community.

The meeting was convened after the farmers staged a road block around 2 a.m. today in protest.

The Ministry informed that after the meeting, all parties agreed that the Ministry would lead an inspection team to determine the current state on the ground and establish the various claims.

The parties further agreed to suspend any further development on the land in question and to meet to determine the best way forward in resolving this impasse after the verification exercise.

The Ministry of Natural Resources thanks all participants and interested parties for their willingness to engage and their commitment to arriving at an amicable resolution.
