Farmers in Antigua and Barbuda will receive training in modern irrigation methods under a China-backed initiative.
The three-week course, running from 16 October to 5 November at the Villa Polyclinic, will focus on water-saving techniques to improve crop production in drought-prone conditions.
The programme is part of the China Aid initiative and is being delivered in partnership with the Chinese Embassy, Yuan Long Ping High-Tech Agriculture Co, and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Chief Extension Officer Owolabi Elabanjo said the training will help strengthen food security. Farmers can register through the Agricultural Extension Division.
