St Vincent and the Grenadines are among four windward islands that will benefit greatly from a FAO’s regional cluster of projects on promoting Windward Islands Food Production and Trade Corridor through National and Regional Value Chain Development.
On Friday, February 3, 2023, the Ministers of Agriculture from these countries, along with other government representatives, will join the FAO for an hour-long virtual launch, presentation and discussion on the regional projects.
Other regional partners to be in attendance include the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA).
The discussions will focus on plans under the project to build resilient and competitive value chains that can promote exports and reduce the importation of goods.
