THEME:
Agriculture in the Caribbean region
The Caribbean region is prone to periods of heavy rainfall as well as periods of drought.
These, as well as other issues, impact the output from agricultural efforts in the region.
Trade liberalization; global concerns regarding food safety, security and food quality;
opportunities for export in niche markets for specialized agricultural products such as
organic foods, agro-tourism and medicinal herbs and plants are all factors that make
it necessary for a more sustained and united approach to agricultural production in the
region.
Based on this situation, there is the need for an indigenous digital product suitable for
sharing information, such as best practices and production quality, in the agricultural
industry across the region.
