3 Foreword

This publication is a production of the Caribbean Action under the Intra-ACP Policy Programme (APP), which is funded by the European Union under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF). The APP focuses on the Caribbean and the Pacific islands, and seeks to promote the integration of small holders and small-medium size (SME) enterprises into local, national, regional and global markets, and thereby contribute to the reduction and eventual eradication of poverty in these regions.

The policy actions of the APP, reflect the common priorities of the CARIFORUM region, and are so designed to increase the capabilities of regional development organizations to address identified needs, one of which is that of strengthening market linkages to contribute to small holder’s and SME development. This publication, which is presented in the form of a directory, seeks to address this need, and may be regarded as a first of its kind in the CARIFORUM region. It should be used as a ‘quick reference’ source of information about the contact coordinates of key producer groups, supermarkets, restaurants, traders, exporters, agro-processors, and input suppliers involved in selected commodity-specific chains.

For each of the 15 CARIFORUM countries, two commodities are covered, and include, roots and tubers (sweet potato, cassava, yam), small livestock (sheep, goat, pigs), vegetables (tomato), herbs and spices (hot pepper), fruits (pineapple), and honey. Information is also provided on major institutions that provide financing, information, and technical support services to operators within the chains.

On behalf of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), and our APP Partners, the Caribbean Community Secretariat (CCS), and the Caribbean Agricultural Development and Research Institute (CARDI), I take this opportunity to recommend as many small holders and small-medium size enterprises in the CARIFORUM countries to make full use of this directory.

I wish to acknowledge, and thank the European Union, the IICA staff, and all the service providers involved, for their significant contribution towards making this publication and its dissemination possible.

4 Antigua and Barbuda

Hot Pepper Each year, a relatively few farmers in Antigua and Barbuda produce one major crop of hot pepper, most of which is sold to local processors. While farmgate prices have remained relatively stable over the years, both farmers and processors face competition from imports of intermediary and consumer hot pepper products. Keen attention to the issues of farmers’ adoption of production protocols to improve crop agronomy, control pest/disease and post-harvest losses, water availability, praedial larceny control, and pricing, can significantly contribute to enhancing competitiveness and replacing 20-29,000 kg of imports per annum.

Sweet Potato An estimated 40 farmers use traditional technology to cultivate approximately 80 hectares of sweet potato in Antigua and Barbuda. Two crops are produced each year, and sold to domestic retailers, restaurants, hotels, and a few food processors. While production cost is cited as relatively competitive, supplies from other Caribbean countries continue to meet unfulfilled domestic demand- which is at its highest in the first two quarters of the year. Investments in post-harvest control methods, and development of convenient value-added products, can contribute to significantly increasing local supplies to the market.

10 GO TO INDEX The Bahamas

Small Ruminants With over 70% of the population in the Bahamas consuming sheep and goat meat once per week, the consumption of these meats, particularly the former, is reported as one of the highest in the CARIFORUM region. However, local supplies are still not enough, as over 80% of demand is met by imports. If farmers are assisted to increase productivity, and improve meat quality and presentation, domestic supplies to the hotel and restaurant sector can be amplified, and therein capture a meaningful share of domestic demand.

Tomato The demand for fresh tomato in the Bahamas is significant and anecdotal evidence suggesting that consumers are prepared to pay high prices for a good quality commodity. Most small farmers in the Bahamas produce tomatoes, using in most cases traditional production methods. With assistance in procuring farm equipment, improved access to finance, greater adherence to good agricultural practices, improved production systems that lengthen supply availability, and competitive pricing, local producers can readily increase output to meet commercial requirements.

Barbados

Hot Pepper On a daily basis, 30% of the Barbadian population consumes fresh and processed hot pepper. Local processors purchase 25% of domestic production, but they are becoming increasingly dependent on imported crushed pepper. With a market comprised of over 200 supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and food catering services, the opportunity exists to improve industry competitiveness, by increasing farmer access to water, providing them with greater technical support and encouraging more youth and women into hot pepper production. Industry stakeholders have already prepared a development plan to strengthen hot pepper production, and processing.

Small Ruminants Relative to other countries in the CARICOM region, per capita consumption of sheep and goat meat in Barbados is very high. Hotels and restaurants account for 40% of market off-take. However, inadequate supplies and high prices are current constrains to greater utilization. With 40% of sheep and goat producers owning or renting land to support production, and a notable number being women and youth, local production can be enhanced to account for a higher proportion of shares of consumption, if further efforts are directed at improving productivity and meat quality.

22 GO TO INDEX Belize

Honey Over 30% of the Belizean population consumes honey in various ways. Local honey producers sell most of their output on the open market to retailers, but they are faced with increasing competition from imports. Industry stakeholders anticipate growth in retail sales over the next 3 years, therefore the provision of technical and financial support to groups of honey producers located in the northern and western regions, is viewed as critical to increasing domestic honey supplies and the production of value added products.

Pineapple The consumption of pineapple as a fresh fruit, and as a juice, is relatively high in Belize. Local pineapple farmers produce 2 crops each year, and sell most of their output to a local processor that manufactures frozen juice concentrate. Since 2010, changes in buyer requirements for a particular variety, coupled with pest/disease, and post harvest challenges, have contributed to a significant decline in production. This trend can be reversed with increased production of the preferred variety, and producers better organized to receive access to finance and technical support.

Dasheen Dasheen is not only an important staple food in the diet of the Dominican population, it is also important to the business of local fresh produce exporters who, on a year-round basis, purchase up to 70% of production for sale to buyers in the USA, UK, French and Dutch territories, Barbados and St. Kitts and Nevis. In recent years, both production output and profitability for dasheen farmers have increased, and can be further enhanced with greater security of export markets, access to financing and improved pest/disease control and post- harvest management.

Plantain In Dominica over 1,500 farmers are engaged in plantain production with 15% being women. Notwithstanding the incidence of the Black Sigatoka disease which has impacted significantly on yields and discouraged investment in this crop, exports have begun to increase. Cited as suitable interventions to bolster growth of the local industry are, educating plantain producers about the disease and its control, farm certification, facilitating greater access by producers to finance, and the construction of packing and value-added production facilities.

36 Dominican Republic

Small Ruminants In the Dominican Republic, an estimated 200,000-300,000 heads of sheep and goats are reared by 22,000 farmers and sold in market bids to intermediaries. This level of production is not enough to satisfy local demand. Factors curtailing production and competitiveness include the theft of animals, killings by dogs, limited access to finance, low breading quality and nutrition, and an estimated 50,000 goats imported each year from neighboring Haiti. The lack of processing facilities and information to increase producer knowledge and bargaining power, are also matters for attention.

Tomato (Organic) Organic tomato producers in the Dominican Republic are relatively few in number, and face the challenge of certification, low supply capacity, and competition from imports and local greenhouse producers of other types of tomato. As a result, they have not been successful in their efforts to penetrate the local market. However future prospects for organic tomato production can be made better, if further support is provided in the areas of reduced cost of certification, pest and disease control, access to financing for greenhouse systems and inputs and brand marketing.

42 Grenada

Cassava Of the estimated 200 cassava farmers in Grenada 20% are women. Over the years, production output has been very cyclical, but in the third quarter of the year, sale to farine producers (who are mainly women) is noticeably high. With increased access to finance for irrigation and small processing equipment, coupled with consumer promotion of the health benefits derived from eating cassava products, and a wider range of value-added products being made available, it is anticipated that there can be significant increases in production and consumption.

Small Ruminants Per capita consumption of sheep meat in Grenada is estimated to be six times more than that of goat meat. Approximately 6,000 sheep and goat farmers on the island sell 70% of their production to consumers within local communities. In recent years, competition from external suppliers of goat meat has declined, but imports of sheep meat have remained relatively high. Production output can be increased with address to the issues of producer access to land and finance to support intensive production of improved breeds of animals and praedial larceny control.

Cassava In Guyana there are an estimated 150,000 farmers cultivating approximately 2,000 hectares of cassava. They harvest two crops per annum, selling fresh cassava throughout the year to household consumers and restaurants. Higher prices can be had for processed cassava products such as casareep, farine and tapioca, which are mainly purchased by miners, loggers, and the Amerindian community. Further growth in the industry is projected, given the presence of recently established processing facilities involving rural women entrepreneurs, and added support in the areas of production, value-added product development and consumer promotion.

Small Ruminants Guyana has over 10 small ruminant producer groups and more than 30,000 sheep and goat farmers. These farmers generally use semi-intensive production systems and sell animals mainly to local butchers/meat vendors who in turn sell to wholesalers, supermarkets, hotels, and on the open market directly to consumers for Sunday meals and festive occasions. Increased supply of local lamb/mutton and chevron meat can be realized provided there is address to issues such as producer’s access to financing, quality feed and appropriate breeds, coupled with improved grading and standardization of meat quality.

Spices, Condiments & Herbs (Hot Pepper) Given the strong demand by local traders and processors, there are many farmers in Haiti who grow the ‘Piman’ variety of hot pepper, considered a high value crop with significant potential for growth. While numerous local traders supply hot sauce processors, the highly fragmented nature of the trading market presents a challenge for pepper processors. Hot pepper farmers and traders need to access knowledge and financial services that can improve their agronomic practices, support investment, strengthen links between chain actors, and promote the inclusion women in value chain development initiatives.

Yam An estimated 30,000 hectares of yam (Dioscorea spp.) is cultivated in Haiti mainly in the region of Salagnac, where over 80% of all producers have tubers as their main crop. As the country faces a chronic food security challenge, the production of yam is considered as a means of tackling this issue. While production has increased over the last five years, to nearly 500,000 metric tonnes in 2013, local demand is not yet satisfied, mainly due to farmer’s lack of organization, access to quality planting material, technical packages, credit, storage and processing facilities.

Small Ruminants In Jamaica, the consumption of small ruminant meat, especially goat meat, is widespread in local communities and is strongly associated with cultural occasions. More sheep meat, relative to goat meat, is sold under contract to wholesalers and retailers. Since 2010, imports of both meats have been on the decline. Improvement in the level of competitiveness of domestic supplies will depend on address to several challenges, which include the availability of improved breeding stock, access to finance to meet high investment and operational cost, animal health issues, and praedial larceny control.

Sweet Potato The average sweet potato farmer in Jamaica produces 2-3 crops per annum. Production output and exports have been steadily increasing over the past 5 years. A major contributor to this positive scenario has been the support provided by local extension and research institutions to control major pest and disease. More access to water, land, cheaper inputs, a greater number of producers adhering to Good Agricultural Practices, improved quality of retailers’ presentation in the stores, and stability in prices can significantly increase sales opportunities and levels of earning from exports.

68 St. Kitts and Nevis

Small Ruminants Sheep meat consumption and utilization is relatively high in St. Kitts and Nevis. More than 20% of local demand is met by an estimated 550 farmers, a notable proportion being youths. Annual small ruminant meat production is estimated at 36 tonnes, with the majority being sold to retailers and traders/meat vendors. While competing imports have declined in recent years, they remain 3-4 times higher when compared to local production. Local supply of sheep and goat meat can be increased if the challenges of productivity, finance, and dog control are addressed.

Sweet Potato More than 50% of the 100 farmers who produce sweet potato in St. Kitts and Nevis are women and youths. Using mainly traditional technology, and equity finance, their production output of approximately 200 tonnes per annum, has been relatively steady, delivering 3 crops per annum to mainly food services and processors. On an average, some 55 tonnes is imported from neighboring countries each year. Greater emphasis on the control of pest and disease, and adherence to good agricultural practices will significantly improve farmers’ supply capabilities.

78 Saint Lucia

Pineapple There are approximately 155 active pineapple producers in Saint Lucia, producing on average 40-50 tonnes of pineapples every year. Over the past decade, there has been increased off- take of imported pineapples by hotels and supermarkets, and the consumption of fresh pineapples has increased by an estimated 30%. Consistency in production, coupled with standardization of fruit size and texture, and a better organized marketing and distribution system, should encourage the key buyers to rely more on local supplies than on imports.

Small Ruminants When compared to other CARIFORUM countries, the per capita consumption of sheep and goat meat in Saint Lucia, particularly the former, is relatively high. Retail prices are also very high and imports have been steadily declining. Increasing supplies from local small ruminant producers, as well as the off-take by the food service sector, will depend heavily on efforts made to promote stakeholder engagements, improve farm infrastructure and management, improve breeding stock and animal nutrition and health, reduce praedial larceny, and train farmers/butchers in meat fabrication.

84 GO TO INDEX St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Pork Pork meat is consumed at least once every week by over 50% of the population in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. In the face of significantly low levels of imports, local pork production has been increasing, with 80% of domestic production being sold on the open market. If retail prices were lowered, there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that consumption would increase further. The Government has identified the pork industry as a priority area for development and receives significant levels of investment financing under the EU-funded Banana Accompanying Measures Programme.

Sweet Potato Each year, over 2,500 farmers in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (25% of whom are women), cultivate approximately 300 hectares of sweet potato. Since 2010, production output has been fluctuating, however remains above 2,500 tonnes per annum. St. Vincent has been a noted exporter of sweet potato to Europe and to other neighboring Caribbean territories. Opportunities to increase exports and down-stream processing of sweet potato can be realized if farmers were to be further assisted with access to finance, cost-effective inputs, and their application of Good Agricultural Practices.

Cassava The estimated 4,000 cassava producers in Suriname produce approximately 7,000 tonnes per annum. While the majority of cassava is sold at the retail level, a significant quantity is used in the production of baked products and Javanese sweets. The Ministry of Agriculture established a facility to process 30 tonnes of fresh cassava per day, to make flour, starch and other cassava products for export. Assisting cassava producers to improve their agronomic practices, post-harvest treatment, value addition and packaging, can significantly increase their level of production output.

Small Ruminants There are approximately 1,000 sheep and goat farmers in Suriname, producing an average of 15 tonnes of meat per annum, most of which goes directly to consumers and restaurants. Generally, per capita consumption of sheep and goat meat in Suriname is relatively low when compared to other CARIFORUM countries. Suggested areas of need are the importing of improved breeds, adoption of production protocols and better disease control measures to boost production capacity, assisting farmers to access finance for better housing and feeding of animals and promotion of the produce involving local restaurants.

Cassava Cassava is one of the commodities identified by the Ministry of Food Production for contributing to Food Security. In recent years, production has been increasing, resulting in gluts on the market and consequential loss of income to farmers. This situation is a disincentive to continued production. There is now renewed interest in adding value to this commodity in order to create additional marketing opportunities and income for stakeholders.

Small Ruminants The Small Ruminant subsector in Trinidad and Tobago provides a very small percentage of the meat and milk consumed by the population. While the health benefits of goat milk are well known, the milk is not widely consumed. Goat milk in its raw form is highly perishable. Therefore, in an effort to increase the shelf life and stimulate greater demand, the sector is now focusing on ways in which value added products from goat milk can be promoted, in an effort to increase marketing opportunities and income for producers.
