Jamaicans are being urged to invest in ackee production and exports as demand continues to outstrip supply, creating what the agriculture minister says is a lucrative opportunity for farmers and landowners.“If you were to ask me right now what you should be doing, you should be reaching out to the Bodles Agricultural Research Station, the Forestry Department and the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) to get ackee and breadfruit trees for planting,” said Agriculture Minister Floyd Green.
