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.
