The Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Forestry, Marine Resources, and Cooperatives is now offering low-cost fertiliser to farmers.

| Mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) | $50 |

Fertilisers are available for purchase at the Mirabeau Agricultural Station and the Southern Extension District in La Sagesse between 9 am and 1 pm every Tuesday and Wednesday for one month. Thereafter, sales will continue only at Mirabeau Station.
Procedure for the purchase of fertilisers:
- Fertilisers would only be sold to registered farmers that are actively engaged in farming
- Farmers can purchase up to 5 bags of fertiliser
- A farmer requesting MORE THAN 5 BAGS of fertilisers MUST PRESENT A WRITTEN LETTER OF APPROVAL from the Chief Extension Officer after a needs assessment is carried out by the Extension Division
- Payment for fertiliser sales at La Sagesse can be done at the St David’s revenue office or treasury, as cash will not be collected by the Southern Extension District. To collect fertiliser, you must produce your receipt
Farmers are encouraged to use the fertiliser as recommended by the Extension Officers attached to the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Forestry and Marine Resources.
