Farmers Must Prove Value to Get Support | Barbados News
Description
The government is overhauling how it supports farmers, demanding measurable results from public investments. Agriculture Minister Dr. Shantal Munro-Knight insists taxpayer money must drive real production, not idle land or unused equipment. With new tracking systems and performance-based incentives, the ministry aims to boost productivity—backed by industry leaders like James Paul, who cites declining poultry output as proof change is needed. Better data on crops and harvests will fuel smarter decisions, ushering in a new era where government aid is tightly tied to tangible outcomes.
