Welcome

  Welcome to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Transformation, Industry & Labour.
The Ministry is the institutional body of the state responsible for the 
formulation, articulation and implementation of all policies and plans relating to Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Transformation, Industry & Labour. 
The administrative arm of this Ministry is responsible for:
   - The co-ordination of all programmes of the various Departments, Divisions and Units.
  - The maintenance of communication with local, regional and international bodies affecting the functions of the Ministry.
  - The administration of revenue and expenditure transactions approved by Parliament.

In an effort to support the promotion of pilot project activities under the Japan Caribbean Climate Change Partnership Project (JCCCP), the Communications Unit in the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Transformation, Forestry, Fisheries, Industry and Labour, received video editing and storage equipment, valued at approximately EC$10,000.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Transformation, Forestry, Fisheries, Industry and Labour, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, continues the implementation of FAO funded Technical Cooperation Project - Development of National Land Banks for improved Food and Nutrition Security and Land Administration in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Restoration work has begun on the largest mangrove forest and lagoon in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. 

The work, which is led by local Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Sustainable Grenadines Inc., will create breaches in strategic areas of the abandoned marina piers. This will create water circulation in the area which has been almost stagnant for the last 20 years.
