Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Ryan Anselm, says his Ministry is committed to the fight against the Lethal Yellowing disease in the coconut sub-sector in the Woodfordhill area.

His comments came as the Ministry of Agriculture received a grant from the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund and the Dominica National Conservation Trust Fund last week to help contain the disease.
