SUVA – A total of $75.25 million worth of damage was done to the agricultural industry by the two recent tropical cyclones.
This was the revelation by the Minister for Primary Industries, Joketani Cokanasiga who said the traditional response in the agricultural industry is to rely on Government to repair the damage done by natural disasters.
He used the cost of damage to highlight the need for the development of a draft response plan for the agricultural industry.
The Disaster Response Management workshop is underway at the Holiday Inn.
