Honouring Sir Robert Hall β€” Former Deputy Premier & Minister of Agriculture.

Long before food security became a buzzword, Sir Robert Hall was planting the seeds of self-reliance. As Minister of Agriculture (1971–1976), he led one of the most productive eras in Antigua and Barbuda’s agricultural history.

🌾 Key Achievements:

βœ… Expanded pineapple production at Cades Bay and Orange Valley

βœ… Established the Christian Valley Plant Nursery Project (65 acres)

βœ… Settled small farmers on 5-acre plots at Table Hill Gordon

βœ… Expanded Diamond Estate Gardens from 35 to 165 acres

βœ… Strengthened export markets for fruits and vegetables across the region and Canada

βœ… Grew the number of registered small farmers from 576 to 2,000 in 4 years

βœ… Revived cotton and coconut production

βœ… Strengthened livestock, fisheries, and marine protection programmes

βœ… Pushed for local marketing through the Central Marketing Corporation

Sir Robert Hall believed that true independence meant feeding ourselves. His vision of an agricultural industry that empowers people, remains a blueprint for national resilience today. 🌱

  1. Oh just shut it, Love-ill!!! You and the shelf-life expired remnant of yesteryear, Robert, belong in the same dustbin (of history, for one)

  2. PSA to Mr. Lovell,,,, nobady a go read this ya, just like nobody read all them long press release from UPP

  3. @ Faithful National #1
    Is it the same DUSTBIN that Eddy Mansoor condemned the LATE VC BIRD to? I am quite sure they have your place reserved too. I somehow suspect you will be at the bottom though with GB and the others right on top of you

  4. I still want to know how this one man end up owning so much land and the amazing thing as soon you stepped on any fraction of this land, you are chased by armed horsemen. I know they didn’t have surveillance cameras back then, but it sure seems like he did, even as far as Sea Fort.
