The Ministry of Agriculture is investing in the construction of two new abattoirs while upgrading the current one up at North Sound.

This is part of the overall plan to develop our agricultural infrastructure to support increased local meat production.

We must be able to better prepare meats in order to meet our local demand.

For example, our people consume about 15,000 pigs a year.

The current abattoir isn’t anywhere near that kind of processing capacity.

In order to realize our goal of substituting imports we are therefore improving our meat processing capacity, to enable scaled up local meat production to fulfil the local demand.

  1. What Antigua desperately needs is a government-operated plant to produce growing mediums for home gardeners. Too many of us are struggling to produce fruits and vegetables of a viable quality in our backyards. One truckload of a rich, balanced growing medium could change the dynamic of home-gardening. Just saying…

  2. Our journalists need to get it right and especially in this case.
    There is absolutely nothing honorable about Anthony Babyface Judas Smith.
    Hence the reason we need proper and correct way of addressing ALL parliamentarians.
    Then again this portal doesn’t follow any journalistic principles.
    Honorable is not the person.
    It is the office that is honorable.
    So instead of writing HONOURABLE ANTHONY BABYFACE JUDAS SMITH Minister of Agriculture we should write HONOURABLE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE Anthony Babyface Judas Smith.
    Our journalists owe it to the people to educate them.
    Our politicians owe it to the people to educate them.
    This is the reason why we need to have civic taught in the classes.

  3. What ever you are if you read the last the budget cycles for the past decade you will find this same comment statement over and over. In fact the government actually said that they bought the necessary equipment/ paid for with tax payers money. Up to now they have not showed up .
    Please try and find some useful work to do.
