Grenada National Agricultural Plan 2015- 2030 Final Report (2015)

Support for the National Agricultural Plan (NAP) was provided by the CARICOM Secretariat under the 10th EDF Agricultural Policy Program. A key requirement under the terms of reference for the  
development of the NAP was alignment with national and regional agricultural policies and national,  
regional and international development priorities.

The methodology applied involved desk review of existing national and regional  
agricultural and related policy and strategy documents, review of grey literature on the sector, analysis of the latest available economic, trade, and other sector related statistics, review of international development priorities, and consultations with industry experts and stakeholder, culminating with a national stakeholder’s consultation which was held on July 16, 2015.

The NAP was informed by a rigorous analysis of the situation in the sector and its  
performance focusing on: economic, social and environmental issues; structural, institutional and  
considerations; and the policy framework, and development priorities.

The vision for the NAP is ‘an agricultural sector that is globally  
competitive; contributes to economic growth, enhanced national food and nutrition security, poverty alleviation and social wellbeing, and conservation of the natural environment; and that is aligned to regional and international agricultural policies and strategies that are beneficial to the country’.  
Its overall goals of the NAP is to stimulate economic growth in the agriculture sector through the  
development of a well-coordinated planning and implementation framework that is interactive and  
effective, and involve the full participation of the stakeholders, and which promotes food security, income generation and poverty alleviation.
