Agricultural Officer Says Early Application for Space is Key

While August argues that he promotes all agricultural products, Director of the Extension Department at the Ministry of Agriculture, Andrew Mejia says that spacing has been an issue for many years. Hence, he advises that early applications are important in securing a spot at the trade show. Mejia explains that there are different spaces allotted for different purposes.

“Every year there’s a waiting list and there’s a deadline for when. Um, they, they can pay and secure those spaces. And when those spaces, when not the line comes and the spaces are not secured, then they’re given to those who are on the waiting list. So, in that situation, it’s nothing new. It happens every year. The committee looks at who is next in line, the spaces that are available because the spaces are different. We have spaces for large companies. We have spaces for people who just want to lay a towel on the ground and place their products, and we also have spaces for those who sell beverages, who sell food, and those who also want to display what they’re doing. Spaces are always limited at their natural agriculture and trade show, so we always encourage people to come and apply early, you know, as early as January if possible.”
