Ms. Davies said the award signifies the immense potential that abounds in the agriculture sector yet to be tapped.

Journalism is about telling compelling stories that make an impact and the story I used to win the award was youth in agric. I did the story because I believe the agricultural sector has a lot of potential, provided the youth are ready to explore the sector,” she said.
