The Cabinet has placed food security and food sovereignty high on the nation’s agenda, given the trade wars that could take place and could affect the cost and supply of food. Antigua and Barbuda imports more than 90% of the food consumed, and spends more than $200 million dollars annually on food imports from North America. The Cabinet agreed to begin its drive towards increasing food production by making more land available to farmers with capital and expertise. Diamonds Estate is more than 200 acres large, with 80 acres fenced, and with a very small percentage currently under production. Every effort will be made to strengthen and expand this particular farmland, still owned by the state.
