Grenada And St Vincent And The Grenadines Sign MOU

• Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines recently inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that is anticipated to increase technical collaboration in the agriculture sector.
• The Technical Cooperation Agreement cements the existing relationship between the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Fisheries, and Cooperatives (Grenada) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Transformation, Industry & Labour (St Vincent and the Grenadines).
• “It is very important that from our level we establish and consolidate what has been happening for a long while. We have just imported over 6,000 pounds of yams from St Vincent to provide planting material for the farmers. A lot of planting material will also be coming from St Vincent and will be supplied to Grenadian farmers for the Food Security Enhancement project,” remarked Minister of State with responsibility for Agriculture and Lands, Fisheries and Cooperatives Adrian Thomas.
• The arrangement will also provide support for Grenada’s Artificial Insemination programme, which will promote a working relationship where both countries can be leaders in the export of livestock to other countries.
• The agreement will also foster a working relationship with technicians from both countries to ensure that their food import bills are reduced.
