He indicated that \u201csea moss has been harvested in the wild for years and that this training workshop would help to build the capacity of farmers in Grenada to produce sea moss under controlled conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training programme sought to impart best practices for improving sea moss production using the training of trainers (ToT) approach in the form of classroom and field-based instruction. From across the island, sea moss farmers, with varying levels of experience and knowledge of sea moss production, joined to exchange experiences, learn more about setting up different production systems in shallow and deep water and good post-harvest practices. &nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"antig-2600883471\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Jane Maturine, Sea Moss Farmer and Owner of Sea Garden Treasures in Petit Bacaye and Ms Janet Whint, Sea Moss Farmer and Agroprocessor in Fort Jeudy, expressed their gratitude for the training. Ms Maturine shared that it was refreshing to be in the field training alongside fellow sea moss farmers. She remarked that learning new post-harvesting techniques to achieve sea moss conversion ratios that would help them to meet the industry standard was the highlight of the training for her. Ms Maturine expressed delight in now being able to apply these more efficient post-harvest techniques and concluded that the new knowledge and skills would help her and other farmers to increase their yields of dry sea moss. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training sessions helped to strengthen the collaboration between sea moss farmers and increased their capacity to produce quality sea moss. It also re-emphasized the importance of farmer-to-farmer exchanges and the need for continued dialogue between other stakeholders in the value chain, such as those involved in marketing and exporting.<\/p><div id=\"antig-3068202404\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB 1300x300_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1301w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:69\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:237\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:178\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1301\" height=\"301\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The trainings were conducted by FAO Sea Moss Production Expert, Mr Thomas Nelson, with coordination support provided by FAO Agricultural Value Chain Development Specialist, Ms Sharlene Prosser.

When we support farmers to do better production, we are promoting better businesses and better lives for people and their communities. These efforts all come together to strengthen food security, improve market opportunities and the export potential of sea moss, while promoting national production\u201d. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This production training marks the continuation of efforts to strengthen the entire value chain. In the coming months, the FAO team will continue to support the National Sea Moss Value Chain Committee in the implementation of a 5-year upgrading strategy and action plan. Under the plan, immediate follow-up activities by FAO include the development of a business investment profile to support sea moss farmers in accessing credit and finance facilities and increasing market support for farmers by linking them to potential buyers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2639864407\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a
