00:00Dr. Rowley says the ongoing disruption of Seabridge operations is creating a real crisis for Tobago's agricultural sector.
00:08He warns that while political commentary dominates public discussion, the impact on producers is tangible, hitting operations and financial stability.
00:18He says, quote, for me, one of the few producers of anything in Tobago,
00:22it is a real crisis since I have pens full of live animals, chickens, pigs and sheep, for which I
00:30can't get feed because no feed mill exists in Tobago,
00:33and my weekly trucking is destroyed because the boat has no schedule in a significantly reduced frequency, end quote.
00:42The former prime minister adds that he continued to dedicate his time and resources to Tobago despite previous challenges.
00:49Dr. Rowley says, quote, I guess it serves me right because after Farley's promise to dig up my navel string
00:57and throw it in Trinidad
00:59and they banned the THA vets from visiting my farm, I still continue to invest my time and resources in
01:06Tobago, end quote.
01:07His comments come after THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine issued an apology on Sunday for ongoing Seabridge disruptions during a
01:16media conference.
