Basseterre, St. Kitts – Nevis, July 25th 2007 (CUOPM)
The performance of the agricultural sector in St. Kitts and Nevis is coming in for high praise from the St. Kitts and Nevis Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
But the private sector body is of the view that strong partnership from the private sector will increase productivity, improve local food security and produce enough food to export excess production.
“Our agricultural sector appeared to have been kept afloat by the production of vegetables, herbs, beef, pork and mutton production. Although the private sector is heartened by this production activity we still feel strongly that we are producing well below our level of capacity,” said Chamber President, Mr. Franklin Brand.
