Caribbean Week of Agriculture 2016

Action for agribusiness to boost small island economies

A workshop held on the eve of the Caribbean Week of Agriculture 2016, being staged in the Cayman Islands from October 26 to 28, has explored the main drivers of agribusiness development and examined success stories that can be scaled up.

Adopting a more business approach to agriculture is emerging as a profitable strategy for small-scale producers and agro-processors in many small island countries of the Caribbean, helping to increase revenues and jobs for rural communities.
