On behalf of the Board Chair of Farm Radio, Anthony Morrison stated that agriculture is very critical to the very survival of human, hence, the need to strengthen the various institutions championing the sector. With this, the award and recognition of these radio stations every year for their efforts in promoting agriculture is crucial to the economy.
