Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Dr Christopher Tufton, has attributed the increased production in the parish to a number of factors, including favourable weather conditions, deliberate production and productivity programmes pursued by the ministry, and the Best Farming Practices seminars being held by the Rural Agricultural Development Authority for targeted farmers.

He made the disclosure during a visit to the 1,100-acre Woodstock Farm in Westmoreland on Friday.
