Dear Farmers of Antigua and Barbuda,
On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Land, Fisheries, and the Blue Economy, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to each of you on this National Farmers Day. Today, we recognize the dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment you demonstrate in ensuring the food security of our nation.
Farming is a noble profession, one that is not without its challenges. The uncertainty of weather conditions, the rigours of labour, and the complexities of market demands are just a few of the obstacles you face daily. Yet, despite these hardships, you continue to work tirelessly, cultivating our land and contributing to the well-being of our people.
Your resilience was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time of global uncertainty, you stood strong, ensuring that our country remained fed and that local produce was available when international supply chains faltered. This critical role you played demonstrated the indispensable value of your work and reminded us all of the importance of investing in local agriculture.
As we move forward into 2025, we encourage you to continue striving for excellence and innovation in your agricultural practices. The Ministry of Agriculture, Land, Fisheries, and the Blue Economy remains fully committed to supporting you in this journey. Whether through the provision of resources, training opportunities, or infrastructure improvements, we will stand by your side. Projects such as the AMEXID initiative and ongoing efforts in the development of key crops like sweet potatoes and pineapples are designed to strengthen the agricultural sector, and we are confident that these efforts will yield even greater outcomes in the year ahead.
Let us work together to expand our agricultural output, embrace sustainable practices, and ensure that the future of farming in Antigua and Barbuda is bright and prosperous. Your contribution is vital to our country’s growth, and we are excited to see the continued progress and success that we can achieve together.
May 2025 bring abundant harvests, growth, and success to you and your families.
With respect and gratitude,
The Ministry of Agriculture, Land, Fisheries, and the Blue Economy
