This is a regional competition, prizes not attractive , not encouraging. As usual agriculture is not taken seriously. CARICUM Secretariat as a regional organization in you are interested in getting our young people involved in agriculture, then make the prizes more attractive. Don’t have to be only monetary. Let’s say a smart shade house for the the winner, a poultry pen or a tiller.
