Barbadians may have to wait a few more months before some locally produced milk products return to the shelves. Acting Deputy Chief Agricultural Officer, Barney Callender, was a guest on the People's Business last night, where he provided an update on efforts to address the ongoing shortage of local milk. He says it will be several months before the local supply is bolstered by the arrival of 180 pregnant heifers from Canada. Mr. Callender also spoke of a new project set to be rolled out in conjunction with the Food and Agricultural Organisation to help drive down the cost of food. It will involve the use of the black soldier fly, commonly found in Barbados, for chicken feed. The vexing issue of monkey's impact on crop production was also raised by several farmers. Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Mark Trotman, says a controlled cull is being undertaken, with the bounty recently raised from 15 to 25 dollars per tail. However, Acting Chief Agricultural Officer, Michael James is warning, hunters must be registered to participate in the cull.
