Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Transformation, Industry and Labour, Saboto Caesar has expressed his delight at the opening of the Montreal Greenhouse Park Facility.

The Montreal Greenhouse Park Facility was jointly financed by the European Union Banana Accompanying Measures (BAM) Project and the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

It pursued a two-pronged approach – increasing the competitiveness of the banana industry and agricultural diversification.

It was borne out of the need to reduce the approximately EC$17 million fruit and vegetable annual food import bill.

Minister Caesar said the establishment of this Greenhouse Park signals to our nation and to our people the seriousness of producers to address the issue of national food production.

The Agriculture Minister said he is pleased at the enthusiasm and interest shown by a number of young persons towards getting involved in agriculture.
