Cassava Fries?

[LadyDeath]

So Look Out Peeps Next Two Months KFC And Royal Castle would be selling cassava fries because Vasant bharath our food production manager is trying to cut import prices and grow our own crops locally and apply it to our daily food that we eat..He said next 2-3 years he will be trying to cut our importation bill by half.
Vasant also said that we must be depend and start to try new schemes to grow our own crops and manufacture our own products... he said "

the main items imported. He said although we cannot grow wheat and soy beans here, we can substitute them with other foods.

Bharath said plans are also on stream for mega farms to produce rice, tomatoes and sweet corn in Felicity, Edinburgh and Orange Grove respectively. He said ketchup is imported into this country when we can grow our own tomatoes and make our ketchup here. He said this will be a $100 million industry.

In the Tucker Valley mega farm, he added, a pilot project will be initiated to cultivate onions and carrots, which are also imported. He said the Tucker Valley farm was never under the Agriculture Ministry but under the Housing Ministry, and therefore never received the focus it needed. He added that the soil at that farm is the best to grow crops and green houses were established on fertile land. "The issue is that there has been no infrastructure put in place for 50 years. That's what we are putting in place now, the 300 irrigation ponds, the access roads, the praedial larceny programme," he said.

I think that this is an awesome idea and i really hope the government could do this to cut money allocating to things that we are capable on handling ourselves. FOODS will be more fresh and also CREATE EMPLOYMENT AND HIRING OF PREVIOUS FARMERS !! I really love this great job
