Caribbean Strategizing on Need to Boost Agricultural Production

The 15 member nations of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) are discussing the need for a comprehensive strategy to boost agricultural production so as to increase self-sufficiency and food security and reduce the current US$ billion in food imports. To do so, more government support for small farmers is needed. For farmers the main concern is greater access to global markets. Alison Kentish reports from Castries, St. Lucia. teleSUR
