Hats off to the Minister of Food Production
Dear Editor,
I wish to highlight the progress made by Senator Devant Maharaj, who since assuming the portfolio of Minister of Food Production has made strides previously not attempted or which had been blatantly neglected.
In his address dated August 22nd, 2013, Mr. Maharaj reiterated the drastic decrease in food inflation from 24.1% in June 2012, to 12.6% in June 2013. The Central bank reports that there have been lower imports in some commodities such as sweet potatoes, cabbage and tomatoes.
Although the prices in the grocery may not always reflect it, as member of society like every one else I take note of and take time to thank the hardworking minister, who has persevered despite his detractors.
As a young person I draw comfort knowing that I have a minister such as Devant Maharaj working to secure my future, and knowing that I can take pattern from dedication to delivering to the nation.
Mr.Hershael Ramesar
