dc.descriptionSaint Vincent and the Grenadines continues to face developmental challenges, especially in terms of reducing poverty and unemployment to levels that are compatible with its per capita income. As poverty is concentrated in rural areas, agricultural development remains crucial for addressing these challenges and supporting national food security. However, the agriculture sector has generally not adapted in an effective manner to the evolving demands of global trade networks. Moreover, market performance is hindered by the existing rudimentary market structure for fresh produce, the lack of aggregation of smallholders and the underdeveloped agro processing industry throughout the country. If strategic investments are made to improve agricultural productivity and increase producers’ access to markets, beneficial outcomes are expected for employment and income levels. With the national context in mind, this project was designed to strengthen the capacities of farmers, fishers, agro processors and aggregators, as well as Government staff, to apply inclusive and sustainable agribusiness development approaches that enhance market access and increase the sale of local agricultural produce.
