Although Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Agricultural Society James Paul agrees that arable land now covered in bush should go back into production, he is urging Government not to take a heavy-handed approach in ramping up production.

While speaking to Barbados TODAY, Paul also said he was angered that property owners were also using arable lands to erect photovoltaic solar power stations.
