This man is a scientist, inovator, lobbyist, benefactor and a farmer. Time to set up the Caura Farmers Market

[@patriciabeddoe6620]

These people work so hard and have to go through so much..they are making such an important contribution as food supply. I hope the message reaches someone who can ease their burden.🙏🙏🙏

[@melissajagessar7474]

A Caura’s Farmers market sounds amazing. His crops look so healthy. I’ve never seen patchoi so big and healthy before. What a hardworking man.

[@belindaplummer936]

Wow this man speaks so well and is soo intelligent and his helper is great, nice and informative Vlog Lyndon, God bless his farming business and hard work 👍🤗🙏😁

[@user-ry6tg6cj1i]

Good Afternoon Lyndon.. Thank you for educating us on farming in Caura..he's so right.. Govt should do more for Agriculture in Trinidad...

[@KMlJS]

This gentleman speaks the truth about farming, people being robbed who's taking their products for sale.. My mother was robbed. I remembered when I was a child heading into Port of Spain market. Government shows no concern for farmers in Trinidad much less help or assistance. Great video Mr Lyndon for highlighting the plight of farmers 🙏

[@shafidasingh183]

you feel the government care about anyone they dumb deaf and blind 😅

[@lincolndipnarinesingh3035]

This guy is speaking the truth, very intelligent I remember back in the days when them poor people bringing their products for sale, they used to rob them of their money 💰 and beat them up to, is PM Pandy who built that place off the highway, Shanty town people used to beat them, Now it's Beetham Estate watching from NYC

[@gmailuser3134]

[@shanesingh4293]

Very nice video lyndon.. we need more of these videos highlighting the lives of these self employed people. Especially these farmers

[@bobbyramdass7317]

Trini farmers are very innovative and adaptable to producing quality products. The middle men and wholesale buyers advantage them

[@brianrattan-rr6qy]

I would love to spend some time with the gentleman and learn more he has such a wealth of knowledge thanks for sharing Lyndon

[@helenaseelal6899]

Hi Lyndon the best solution to this issue is a co operative for the farmers of Caura where all the farmers can sell everything they produce from crops ,by product like farm harry wines the villagers homemade peppersauce, seasons,jams pickles, amchar etc on Friday's sat,sun and especially Mondays bucz everybody knows Monday is Caura biggest lime day lots of visitors and sale and make use of the big red building I think it was the wasa building 😮or post office perfect location

[@shantibronowicki9565]

It’s time 2024 to have support for local farmers caura needs to shine set up veggies stands for those coming to caura Great video

[@sandraragbir8815]

Uncle talking the truth when you go in the ministry too many times you get boof so many papers they ask for and you have to wait long for subsidy I am sure when you go market you will look at things different people does say farmers be selling to high but the price of chemical is very high you dont always make what you put out thanks for sharing

[@Jen-yp7ll]

[@cmartin5903]

All farmers are having difficulty... everyone needs at least a small garden. It's the world's most important business in the world. Agriculture is a need...as everyone needs to eat and the other industries depend heavily on it. ❤

[@rohanirampersad2772]

Very nice gardenig.healthy perduce.

[@yasminbisnath6030]

Very nice garden so neat.

[@wendyheralal7070]

Very interesting and informative content!

[@ReapingWhatYouSow]

Excellent job bro.

[@user-ow4ew4no6m]

Without fully understanding the issue of farmers market and other businesses, I believe the businesses like Macoya Market people want to buy wholesale from the farmers, and do not want the farmers to sell directly to retail customers....Happens everywhere.... I support farmers market (farmers selling retail directly to the public) 100%....Get rid of the Middleman in the situation....sometimes middlemen are needed but not in this one.

[@LanceandLouisefromTrinidad]

Working the land IS hard work. No wonder we hightail it to the nearest supermarket and squint at the courageous farmer; glad though when he throws in the lagniappe. Heck!

[@trinifuhso7939]

Some really disgruntled farmers are they paying taxes they won't say nutten on that😢

[@shireenogir5636]

Really are you that ignorant why tax the people who is feeding you. I guess you have no experience in farming and the hard work done with sometimes much loses. I will suggest to you when every thing gets more difficult for food you eat concrete you will live.

[@mariatele7399]

Great video. Very informative and interesting. Keep it coming.

[@lifeingrande]

[@basselbanfield6883]

Grey tee shirt has a nice gyal a rush me haircut.

[@shireenogir5636]

We have to undetstand that Industrial farmering will be over. It is no longer sustainable so farmers all over the world have to go back to traditional farming. Small farmers wil be the new way and natural fertilizers. We are now in the age of aquarius therefore the frequency of earth has change so the earth will be now cleansing itself. So Trinidadians keep up with your ignorance you will pay a high price also. Its time to vote Independent party and change the rhythm. You are the people who is holding the power in your hands you should be holding all of them accountable.
