This farmer knows a lot. He is a blessing to the country for thinking long term

[@negus7984]

Thank mr Haywood from us in 🇯🇲 his plea is the same for us here, we need to supply food for our Caribbean people first, cut down on imported food and sell the excess outside the region. One love

[@thetravelinsagittarian1316]

I just love Trinidad so much! Trinidad is my international first love. First time on a plane, first time out of America. First time experiencing a real carnival and such a beautiful culture. Trinidad will Always be special to me in my heart. 🤗💞🇹🇹

My best friend is from Trinidad and is so lovely and calm. Will make someone a very good partner again eventually. Married 10years and a very good father and son. Love ❤🙏🏼💯👑

[@davidmiles-hanschell]

Mr Haywood is a Trinidadian agriculturalist/horticulturalist whose efforts in the face of difficulty are worthy of emulation and praise.

[@eatahfood]

Well said! 💯🙏🏿

[@Grenadafoodforest]

The elders are such an important resource with all that information inside them. The challenges that he describes are very similar to what we face here in Grenada. Big up all growers. If it was not for farming we would not even have civilization as we know it today. Love THE Elders.

[@thetravelinsagittarian1316]

I agree 💯👍

Trinidad is blessed with such fertile soil. They are blessed!

[@thetravelinsagittarian1316]

It really is a paradise 🕊️ 🤩

[@hillisbyer4452]

Keep making content like this. Maybe our local farmers can start doing tours and allow people to come for the day and pick (for a fee of course) like how people go Apple and strawberry picking in other countries

[@eatahfood]

That's a great idea. Thank you!

I love farmers cause when you grow food you do not have to depend on the government system as much. The Creator created everything for us to survive on this planet without money.

[@valencia81750]

Beautiful farm!

[@augreybaker9800]

Such a beautiful field seeing all those lovely fruits hanging from the trees those are what they call Organic from field to table if you’re importing the fruits at what stages you pick them to prevent ripping early. 🍉🥭

Awesome work! Hoping to visit Trinidad and Tobago 🇰🇪

[@rubydejesus9119]

I can see the love of farming with this senior. Beautiful papaya, all shape and sizes. Papaya is very expensive in the U.S. it's by the pound.

[@anthonylushington3605]

You have to have mechanism small farming equipments which it has John Deere and other products to help people do farming you cannot give them antiquated tools to work with I'm not a government of trying to be good being given people land way back in the seventies to do at the culture but you have to give them mechanism farming does not work with a cutlash and a whole again this was a good program that has sold your snowdeal on this Podcast and I hope the agricultural department in Trinidad will go forward and help these people that you have to do to mechanism free to go forward the culture very good

[@antoinettewilliams8379]

Farmers insurance, brilliant idea Mr. Heywood. Farmers money can work for them. If done in transparence and without corruption, all farmers can benefit, hills, valley, riverside etc.

[@lenoresamuel7422]

This is awesome

[@rrnn6472]

So lovely to see. I'd love to visit next time in T&T...tired of these "picked green forced ripe imposters" that are sold in the supermarket!

[@leoniekarcher3163]

Blessings from the U K🇯🇲🇬🇧

[@Africa1000]

Nothing beats a fresh papaya.. pick it ripe. Leave it a day or two and you're in heaven. The ones in the supermarket cannot compare. It's almost like you're eating a different type of fruit.

[@sandraSL123]

Loved this so much. The warm down to earth vibes is the best past. Pawpoi is gooooood 😍😊 😋. The interviewer did a great job. Bring she back Badawi

That's great info. Thanks for sharing

[@nyambemundopu1168]

Nice video, very educative insofar as pawpaw (papaya) growing is concerned. By the way, what's the name of this variety of pawpaw?

[@agrietcrypto]

Great job How to do to have pawpaw harvesting during 2 years and keep that size?? Not too tall

[@vake506]

Nice video 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

[@paulramsewak3222]

There is a lot of truth behind what Terrence is saying. But, he needs to be reminded that my father Mr. Ramsewak (Deceased)is the one that got him and many like him access to his land that he now leased. There are so much to say about the farmers of Caura, that my story will take forever. Shango, was the first rastafarian that was introduced to the Caura valley, where he occupied a parcel of land by the corner of Caura Royal rd and Tumbasund Valley. Shango bought in Terrence, and he was introduced to Mr. Ramsewak, who was the president of the farmers association there, at the time. My father did a lot for the farmers, but as usual, the Ministry of Agriculture, never assisted farmers. From Terrence speech, it looks like nothing have changed then and now. Good luck and hope someday life would get better for farmers in TnT.

ho my god i have a big back yared but its empty i wish like you plant i have 👏👏👏👏

[@valencia81750]

How do I do you prevent fruit flies from laying eggs in the papaya

[@alt-w7130]

How can you know a male paw paw tree from a female tree

[@utilitygirl9515]

the blossons are different

[@davidt3698]

The male seedling is tall and skinny, even the leaves are skinny. The reason for this is the male must get tall to get the pollenators to it, before they visit the female plants. Greetings from Australia

[@veronprehay1002]

Do you intercrop with the papaya

[@limagibbs4780]

Longing to get a piece of land to fulfill my need to plant.

[@azardkhan9312]

Very ambitious man. I wonder why they are not wearing masks to protect themselves.

[@maxmax-mv1oe]

Hi guys, I am in the US and would love to buy some seeds from some different varieties of seeds of these papayas, do you think it is possible. Especially the smaller varieties...Thx
