GraceKennedy Limited (GK) has said that it will be assessing how to assist small farmers, especially in light of the recent predicament brought on the sector as a result of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Several local farmers have expressed their frustration with having tonnes in excess produce and a lack of market — due to the temporary closure of the hotel industry, one of their primary customers.

In light of this, GK Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Don Wehby last week ,in speaking with the Jamaica Observer, said that the food and financial services conglomerate, which has a long-standing relationship with farmers, will be seeing how best it can help to offload some of the excess produce.
