See full statement from Chairperson of the Linden Agriculture & Forest Producers Co-op Society 

I, Lynette Benn, interim Chairperson of the Linden Agriculture & Forest Producers Co-op Society, hereby endorses President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Alli for a second term in office.

This endorsement comes in wake of the significant interventions made in the forestry sector by His Excellency. Under the previous administration, the forestry sector was in a decline due to the poor policies that were introduced to this sector.

Community logging associations were experiencing difficulties in accessing markets for their forest produce, which forced many small loggers on the breadline.

In the last five years, the forestry sector has seen tremendous growth due to the direct interventions made by President Alli. Under President’s Alli leadership, several initiatives have positively impacted the forestry sector.

These initiatives were designed to guarantee that community associations dependent on logging, were able to become financially stable and stimulate local economies. They encompassed improved access to markets as well as the rehabilitation and construction of forest access roads.

President Alli’s endorsement for a second term is significantly influenced by his administration’s proactive approach to the forestry sector. These initiatives foster economic development and community engagement and has created a pathway towards a brighter future for the forestry sector.

I also encourage other small loggers in the forestry sector, to support President Alli as we work together to ensure a viable sector.
