Antigua and Barbuda’s Cabinet Engages Award-Winning Farmers on Expansion Plans and Regional Export Opportunities
CABINET NOTES: Two very successful farmers, operators of the Twin Eye Farm in Antigua and Barbuda, who won the award for the best farmers, in the recent (farming) competition in St. Croix, were invited to Cabinet.
The farmers have learned of a viable market for onions, carrots, and even pumpkins in St. Croix.
Their farm is currently 10 acres large; but, they have asked for 30 acres of farmland at Diamonds Estate where only 3 acres out of 120 acres are currently under cultivation.
The two farmers are convinced that they could sell their production to St. Croix and to Dominica.
The OECS country from which Antigua and Barbuda purchases a gamut of agricultural products, does not grow carrots and onions.
Those two items can grow in abundance in Antigua, provided the farmers have access to water.
The Cabinet proceeded to consult with the APUA General Manager who has promised that APUA water lines will be taken as close as possible to the farms. Praedial larceny is still a challenge.
