Descripción
Agriculture is a major pillar of the economy in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, although its importance has declined in recent years. The agricultural sector continues to be export-driven and has diversified from mainly exporting bananas to several types of commodities, such as root crops and tubers, coconuts and plantains. The commitment to growth in traditional crop sectors, such as arrowroot and bananas, remains a primary focus in the reduction of poverty and the creation of opportunities for improved livelihoods. In 2013, the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines published the “National Economic and Social Development Plan 2013 to 2025” with the purpose of increasing market access for agricultural produce, and for which the first strategic intervention is to develop and maintain an effective information and market intelligence system.
