Farmers have repeatedly called for stricter penalties and increased patrols in rural communities to combat the theft of crops and livestock, which often occurs at night or when farms are unattended.
Agricultural officials note that while individual thefts may seem minor, the cumulative impact on local producers is substantial—reducing income, damaging morale, and undermining national food security.
Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to help protect farmers and local food supplies.

Unless someone chops off the thief hand or give them a bullet they probably will never learn. For the life of me I can’t understand how people just feel entitled to other people belongings
Local farmers are understandably angry and frustrated. Especially those in ANtigua because remember we doh have no water. So our produce are crying out…many of them work long hours under the sun, only to have their hard-earned produce stolen overnight. “It might be just $300 in sugar cane to some people, but that’s weeks of work,”. Sometimes by the time we get to St Johns market them produce spoil. We will have to camp out at our farms and kill people
Seem as if we farmers working for them tief
there is a solar powered sim equipped camera system for remote areas, mounting it on a 25 ft steel pole. Farmers should purchase these to protect their investment and hard labor.
Officers say they face a difficult task when it comes to catching these culprits, since farms are often isolated and poorly lit, with no surveillance
We hear ‘investigation ongoing’ every blasted time. Nobody ever get charge. So people feel dem can do it again and again. Until one farmer decide to defend he property and then police want charge him! Something wrong in this system, man
