Suriname Pump Issues Delay Crop Protection Efforts
What happened
William Waidoe, deputy director at the western division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Stock Breeding and Fisheries, reported that the Wakay pumps in Suriname have not been activated for the current season. Waidoe stated that the pumps, which are old, require repairs because the electrical pump did not run smoothly during trial runs. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Overliggend Waterschap Multipurpose Corantijn Project aim to get the pumps operational before November 1st, pending the arrival of necessary spare parts.
