April 7 is WORLD HEALTH DAY. This year, World Health Day falls within the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables.

I am greatly appreciative of our fruits and vegetables farmers who provide healthy and nutritious food to Grenada. I thank them for their role in planting particularly indigenous crops to help us achieve food security, and for promoting sustainable use of our natural resources. 

This World Health Day and moving forward, I implore our citizens to eat more locally grown fruits and vegetables to promote a diversified, balanced and healthy diet.

‘The greatest wealth is health.’ Virgil. Stay well, stay healthy.

St Clair recommends no less than 30 Praedial Larceny patrols with officers/wardens empowered to enforce the Praedial Larceny legislation. “In that way, thieves and vendors will be scared. Thieves will be scared because they will be subject to charges, fines, and imprisonment. Vendors will also be scared therefore they will ensure they purchase produce from legit sources, else they will also be subject to charges, fines, and imprisonment.”  He also recommends that the patrols, working with the police, conduct Praedial Larceny ro
