THE VISION

Producing more. Creating more.

Building on investments in food security, agricultural stations, livestock and agro-processing, we seek to restore agriculture to its place as a major driver of Grenada’s economic development.

We envision a Grenada that produces more of what it consumes and earns greater value from what it grows. We will strengthen production, develop value-added products and connect farmers, fisherfolk and agro-processors with reliable markets.
