According to Trinidad & Tobago's rice Growers' Association (RGA) president, Fazal Akaloo, rice farmers were growing impatient waiting for Agricultural Minister, Arnold Piggott to implement the new pricing structure for harvested rice.
While he said that the current prices offered ranged from between 60 cents to $1 per pound, depending on the grade of rice, he said that farmers, after years of turmoil had re-negotiated new prices between the range of $1.40 to $1.80 with the Agriculture Ministry earlier this year.
