By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security, and Enterprise (MAFSE) is selling Yellow Malayan Dwarf Coconut seedlings at Central Farm.

MAFSE has been making an effort to improve Belize’s coconut industry and is now offering the Yellow Malayan Dwarf Coconut seedlings at $2.00 each.

The Yellow Malayan Dwarf Coconuts are excellent for coconut water.

MAFSE said the sale is a limited time offer. Interested persons may visit the Fruit Tree Nursery at the Central Farm Research, Development, and Innovation Center or call 824-2123 or 804-2129.

In its efforts to boost the growing industry, last month MAFSE, in conjunction with the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), and the International Training Centre (ITC), a European Union funded project, held a two-day Climate Resiliency Workshop for Coconut farmers at the Orange Walk Agriculture Station in Yo Creek.

National Coordinator for Non-Traditional Fruit Trees Barry Palacio said MAFSE is intent on training farmers on best practices and on the control of pests and diseases that affect the industry.
