Ar It's time to stop lamenting agricultural failures and start building on the successes we already have
KINGSTON, Jamaica, September 26, 2025 — Jamaica's agricultural sector tells a story of contradictions. While we perpetually bemoan the collapse of traditional export crops and cooperative failures, we conveniently ignore a remarkable achievement: our farmers produced approximately 800,000 tons of food in 2021/22, along with adequate supplies of broiler meat, eggs, and pork. This isn't failure—it's the foundation for food security we've been desperately seeking.
