The best of the worst is yet to come! Continued from page 7 farmers. Those who work the soil in Belize are our foundation. Yet they have no access to subsidies from government, no access to preferential treatment, no access to incentives. They just have to sweat and bleed and struggle to make ends meet. When the men in their business suits meet with the PM to talk about multi-million dollar business and all that fancy stuff, we hear about HUGE incentives, tax holidays, import duties waived, fuel duties waived. But when it comes to the thousands of farmers across the country who should be our first priorities, they are forgotten. Just a couple months ago farmers here in the South of Orange Walk suffered millions in losses because of the drought. Gaspar Vega and the Ministry of Agriculture didn’t even know about it until they saw it on the news. Hundreds and hundreds of acres of corn and soybeans ruined because our small farmers cannot afford expensive irrigation equipment, and GOB DOES NOT HELP. Farmers lost their crops, and were in danger of losing their homes, and government did nothing. Weeks after crops were destroyed Gaspar Vega was patting himself on the back and posing for the cameras because they decided to lower duties on irrigation equipment. That’s it...long after farmers had already lost everything. Last week we saw carrots rotting in the fields, not because they weren’t good or because farmers didn’t put in the many hours of hard labour to harvest them properly...but because the Ministry of Agriculture issued permits for the importation of carrots. The market was flooded with imported carrots and our local farmers could not sell theirs. That is how this government operates. Remember when they brought in imported onions and all the local onions rotted in the fields. That is how this government operates. We have to do better than this. Our farmers are our backbone. A country that can feed its own people is a country that will develop and grow. We should be seeing our imports decrease and our exports increase. That is the sign of success, but under the UDP it is the opposite. And nothing ever changes. And Gaspar Vega...this rich man who does not feel for our farmers wants to be the next Prime Minister of this country. If that is the best that is yet to come...then God help us.
