Intraregional Trade: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to Export Largest Single Shipment of Livestock to Grenada

Intraregional Trade: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to Export Largest Single Shipment of Livestock to Grenada

Monday, November 4, 2019 — The bilateral agri-export agreement between Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines continues to grow from strength to strength. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is set to export a shipment of 100 heads of cattle and 400 pigs to Grenada on November 17, 2019.

This export valued at $0.5 million will be the largest single shipment of animals to be exported to Grenada in the island’s history.

Since the establishment of the agreement over $10 million dollars worth of products have been traded on the platform.

Minister of Agriculture in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Hon. Saboto Caesar, welcomed the continued support from the government and people of Grenada and outlined plans to further deepen regional trade relationships.

"The focus for 2020 - 2025 is to include as many OECS Member States on this established agri-export intraregional trading platform."

"While we attempt to increase livestock export to other islands, we also embrace the importation of goods produced in other OECS Member States that have particular production advantages," Minister Caesar said.

The Ministry of Agriculture in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is expected to obtain help from the Government of Grenada before year-end regarding planting material for spices.

Vincentian farmers wishing to sell animals to Grenada are asked to take their information to the nearest agriculture station.

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is an International Organisation dedicated to economic harmonisation and integration, protection of human and legal rights, and the encouragement of good governance among independent and non-independent countries in the Eastern Caribbean. The OECS came into being on June 18th 1981, when seven Eastern Caribbean countries signed a treaty agreeing to cooperate with each other while promoting unity and solidarity among its Members. The Treaty became known as the Treaty of Basseterre, so named in honour of the capital city of St. Kitts and Nevis where it was signed. The OECS today, currently has eleven members, spread across the Eastern Caribbean comprising Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and The Grenadines, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Martinique and Guadeloupe.
