Doesnt affect me..
I hate avocado..yuck!

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

we hadda bring laws down here where they cut off yuh hand if yuh get caught stealing.

It sad how a man hadda work hard in the hot sun to plant and people just come and thief out everything.

This is the main why agriculture is almost dead in this country. Police also does nothing.

[pugboy]

hopefully the man won't get charged and best of all
it will set a trend where other farmers might occasionally do the same thing
and people will no longer buy from pipers

we once contemplated doing the same thing with garbage since vagrants would open them everyday and make a mess
was a good idea, after the first vagrant dead and word get around you guaranteed no more vagrants bussing open garbage

yeah and if you get caught you could say that it intended to stop stray dogs from bussing up the garbage.

i think coh hong is the reddish looking jep (nest is look similar to the maribunta, ball of mud) and well maribunta as you say is the little black wasp.

coh hong and maribunta are referred to the same thing in Trinidad...

bush slang is "coh hong" other places in maribunta...

"Coh hong" is both ah ants an' ah jep...
The "coh hong" is so named because of that particular social wasp's type of nest. (It does look like ah bull's stones! "Cohones" when spat out of de Trini mout' ends up being "Coh hong"... )
Due to some symbiotic relationship between that wasp and a particular species of ant, any tree that has one generally will have the other. That ant is the "Coh hong" ant, and it builds a paper-type nest like a flattened, upside down pyramid that hangs from the underside of a branch. The outer part of the nest has "scale" type outer walls, each scale hanging free of the lower end - presumably to aid in air circulation and easy exits. (I eh know what kinda relationship dem does be havin', cause I does mind mih own business.)
The "Coh hong" ant has a horribly effective defense tactic, where all man-jack swarm out of the nest onto the branch while releasing a specific odour, then they all drop off the branch, biting whatever creature they land on. (Most likely the odour is a form of communication, a sort of "Get 'em, boys!" instruction, if you will.)

"Marabunta" (or "Maribunta") is used to refer to a reddish-brown social wasp... but in true Trini style, we use it to refer to any social wasp that delivers a hot sting.

Food Production Ministry advises: Tainted avocados identifiable by black spots

Avocado injected with insecticide can be identified by a “black/rotten” spot that will appear on it, the Ministry of Food Production, Land and Marine Affairs advised in a news release yesterday. The release said the ministry was alarmed by the act of one farmer plagued by praedial larceny which led him to injecting hundreds of avocados with an insecticide. “Praedial larceny continues to impact negatively on the agricultural sector. To address this problem the ministry this year upgraded its Agricultural Incentive Programme in the area of Security. This will assist farmers by subsidising security inputs that would better enable them to secure their holdings,” said the release.

The new incentives listed in the release are:
• Rebates of 50 per cent of the cost of an approved security system against praedial larceny, up to a maximum of $30,000.
• Rebates of 50 per cent of the cost of fencing farmland pastures, up to a maximum of $25,000 per hectare.

The release said the Ministry’s Legal Unit is actively reviewing the Praedial Larceny Prevention Act and intends to increase the fines or terms of imprisonment for various offences. It said farmers are responsible for keeping up to date records on their crops and adoption of key components of Good Agricultural Practices as part of the Farm Certification Programme of the National Agricultural Marketing and Development Corporation (NAMDEVCO). The release said there are currently 1,200 farmers enrolled in the programme with 800 already certified. “This certification programme, along with the newly established Register of Producers, will allow for traceability of produce and enable relevant authorities to better manage any future situations of this or a similar nature,” the Ministry said.

Farmer had the right to do that. If anyone else say other wise, then they should spend their lives working the soil in the hot sun everday and then have some dotish thieves steal their produce. People don't realise that this is d man bread and buttter that this bandits are theifing. I'm pretty sure if some stole your car, van, purse, wallet that you work hard for, you would want to kill that person if you get a chance.

Also people must know not do buy stuff from guntas. their loss if they do

Smart man, Police would finally take the "petty" thieves seriously and recover the stolen goods.
