Opposition Spokesman on Agriculture, Dr. Dayton Campbell, says portfolio minister, Floyd Green, has never reached out to him regarding matters affecting the sector.
He was reacting to a call from Minister Green for him to speak directly to him about relevant matters, rather than issue press releases.
Dr. Campbell has called on the agriculture minister to say what is being done to arrest the spread of a rust disease affecting yam.
Mr. Green says the ministry has earmarked $9 million to assist farmers in need of help and has been working with them to minimise the spread.
But Dr. Campbell says this will not be enough.
