Jamaica, with the help of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), has completed the draft for a 10-year National Agricultural Development Plan, Grow Forward, that will now seek feedback from stakeholders before finalisation.

Agriculture Minister Floyd Green presented the draft plan to Parliament as he made his contribution to the Sectoral Debate on Wednesday, saying he expects it to be tabled for approval by the second quarter of this financial year.

Green also announced the Government’s plan to construct 95 greenhouses across four parishes by the end of this calendar year.
