A closing ceremony will be held this week for a Rabbit Rearing Project in North Leeward, which was carried out at the Troumaca Secondary School as part of the “Enhanced Capacity for Improved Food Security and Livelihoods Project.”
It was spearheaded jointly by the Rural Transformation Unit within the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF).
Along with a certificate of completion, the Rural Transformation Unit will be distributing rabbits and rabbit rearing kit which will consist of medicine, feeds, waterers, feeders and manual to thirty persons consisting of males and females residing in the Troumaca and Rose Hall communities.
The project funded under the BNTF to the tune of Twenty eight Thousand United States dollars allowed the Rural Transformation Unit to provide project participants with three component hutches and nesting boxes.
Training was also carried out on how to slaughter a rabbit, prepare the rabbit meat, marketing strategies, business skills and proficient rabbit rearing practices.
The closing ceremony takes place at the Troumaca Secondary School from 10am tomorrow and will hear remarks from Minister of Agriculture Saboto Caesar, and others.
