New income streams for local farmers

The ability to sell their products in new, secure, high value local markets will provide new income streams

Improved food security

Re-establishing the agriculture sector will improve food security through increasing domestic food self-

sufficiency.

Improved environmental sustainability

Local sourcing is beneficial to the environment, as it requires less transportation and consequently causes less

carbon emission.

Improved local economy

Providing smallholder farmers with technical and financial assistance and guaranteed market access will boost

the local economy

Reduction of import reliance

Import substitution has the potential to create jobs and economic value across the island’s economy.

Example for the rest of the industry

A high impact agribusiness has the potential to be a model for sustainable agriculture in the region.
