DARD purchased and supplied 31 weighing scales of which 10 was distributed in Saratamata, 5 in Sola, 8 in Lenakel, and another 8 in Lakatoro this month.
Director of DARD, Antoine Ravo says there was no mechanism in place to control prices and there were complaints about the cost of operation.
“We had complaints from farmers on cost of operation so we encouraged them to increase supply and use scales so it is easier to control price,” he said.
