Cabinet has finally appointed new Rice Assessment Committees in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five and Six, subsequent to requests made by farmers for greater assistance from the Rice
Assessment Committee.
A press statement from the Ministry of Agriculture stated that the committees will expedite the hearing and settlement of land disputes.
