Mr. Dindial Sikumar has been involved in agriculture for over 44 years as a student, teacher and farmer. On just one acre of land he supplies over 20 restaurants as well as the top supermarket chains in Trinidad & Tobago with herbs like basil, thyme, mint, tarragon and rosemary to name a few.

As an advocate for economic diversification through agriculture, Mr. Skiumar believes now is the time to focus on our agriculture industry.

The adverse effects of Coronavirus on the economy and the challenges we are facing with food security as a country and in the wider region are indicators that we need to have a plan going forward where farmers and other key figures in our agricultural industry play an important role in how we deal with the fallout from Covid 19.

This was a very impromptu visit so we are grateful to Mr. Sikumar for his hospitality and agreeing to speak to us on camera on such short notice.
