The Ministry is the institutional body of the state, responsible for the formulation, articulation and implementation of all policies and plans relating to Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Transformation.
The Ministry of Agriculture is collaborating with the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) to conduct an evaluation of the development of five varieties of carrots in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Egg production in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is set to experience a significant boost, as twenty selected poultry farmers received nesting boxes at the Dumbarton Agricultural Station. These items are expected to build their capacity to provide higher-quality eggs to consumers.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines enforces strict penalties for littering, wildlife, and forest offences under the Litter Act, the Wildlife Protection Act, and the Forest Resource Conservation Act, with fines ranging from as little as EC$500 to as much as EC$10,000 and imprisonment terms of up to two years.
