Agro-Investment Corporation, an agency of the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries, is on the hunt for 20 investors to put to work some 1,000 acres of idle sugar cane lands in Toll Gate, Clarendon.
The lands have been earmarked for the cultivation of the St Julian and East Indian mangoes, a fruit that was given the green light for re-entry into the United States market two years ago. High demand is also coming from the United Kingdom and Canada.
So far, four local investors have been identified for the project. Each will lease 50 acres of land from the Agro-Investment Corporation under a 25-year, renewable lease arrangement.
