![[🇳🇱] "Het zou mooi zijn als de overheid meedenkt met boeren die willen uitbreiden. Dan hoeven we niet aan te kloppen bij een commerciële bank." aldus #curacaoseboer Ron Meekel
#Kippenboer Meekel produceert scharreleieren. Het bedrijf loopt goed. Op den duur wil hij uitbreiden met vleeskippen, schapen en geiten. Dat betekent sowieso een extra waterput en meer pompen en meer ‘kleine financiële injecties’. Boer Meekel hoopt op advies en steun van de overheid of een ontwikkelingsbank.

[🇺🇸] "It would be nice if the government thinks along with farmers who want to expand. Then we don't have to turn to a commercial bank." said #curacaofarmer Ron Meekel
#Chickenfarmer Meekel produces free-range eggs. The company is doing well. In time he wants to expand with broiler chickens, sheep and goats. That means an extra well and more pumps and more 'small financial injections'. Farmer Meekel hopes for advice and support from the government or a development bank.
