The Jamaica Agricultural Society, JAS, is welcoming the recent pronouncements of growth in the agricultural sector.
Still, the organisation is calling on the government to improve irrigation infrastructure.
Horace Ogilvie is the second vice-president of the JAS.
Meanwhile, Mr Ogilvie says many farmers are now battling the effects of the drought.
The JAS executive says the supply of several fruits including mangoes and oranges are now in short supply because of the dry conditions.
