Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh shared updates on his ongoing agricultural initiatives over the weekend, emphasizing the government’s commitment to enhancing food security and employment through local farming projects.
Posting on his official X page, Dr. Jalloh described a visit to the Yemiyah community in Lokomasama, where he participated in a symbolic rice harvest, underscoring efforts toward self-sufficiency and economic growth.
The Vice President’s initiative, launched several months ago, aims to expand maize cultivation in the region, providing job opportunities and boosting local food production. “Very excited to see that a project I initiated a couple of months ago to grow maize is impacting the community in terms of creating jobs and increasing food production,” he stated. This project aligns with the national Feed Salone initiative, championed by President Julius Maada Bio, which seeks to enhance food security across Sierra Leone.
In addition to the maize project, Dr. Jalloh toured the nearby PC Agriculture industrial Onion Farm, situated approximately two kilometers from Yemiyah. The farm, managed with a workforce of 65 permanent and 200 seasonal employees, is set to cultivate 70 hectares of onions this year, marking a substantial increase in local vegetable production capacity.
“Feed Salone is not only gaining momentum but shaping a ‘New Direction’ in food production in the country,” Dr. Jalloh commented.
Oh Sierra Leoneans don’t get deceive by this foreigners children. This matidor is doing that to confuse you all as the son of the soil, he is not one of us. They have their wealth developing in Guinea where their parents came from. Stop hailing foolishness. For example 16 September this year his family in fugkia order securities to beat up a true son of the soil for no reason just because he passed at the front of their gate and he’s a Koroma. But I don’t blame those matidors, i blame Maada Bio who sold his birth rights to them for money to campaigns for power. Sierra Leoneans this are the people destroying that country deep down and left you all in pain. Be wise to push them away from your sides.🤔🙌🏾😔. They are just hustlers and they will never want Sierra Leone and it people to develop never. Take it or leave it but it will be too late 😕
