FSG clears air on Command Agriculture programme

Fert Seed and Grain (FSG) managing director Steve Morland yesterday distanced his company from a funeral business with a similar name as Parliament grilled him over the $400 million the fertiliser firm was paid under the Command Agriculture programme.

Morland appeared before the Justice Mayor Wadyajena-led Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Agriculture to speak on the fertiliser situation as the country prepares for the summer cropping season.

He told the committee that there was confusion between his fertiliser manufacturing company and another company, FSG, which was a funeral parlour.
