Partners

The agricultural sector is very important to Jamaica’s economy and embraces many important sub-sectors. Involvement with several International Organizations is necessary to accommodate the diverse needs of the sector. Jamaica is a small country and would not be able to provide some of the facilities now obtained through these organizations on its own since it has neither the financial, technical nor human resources necessary to do so. A list of our International Partners are as follows:

• The European Union (EU)
• Inter-American Institute for Co-operation in Agriculture (IICA)
• The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
• Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
• Inter-American Development Bank (IADB)
• Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI)
• US Agency for International Development (USAID)
• Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA)
