This is an important sector to our economy and the strength of the local agricultural sector is inextricably linked to national food security and also the health and nutrition of our citizens. The MSJ will ensure that there is sufficient allocation of land for agricultural purposes, allowing our farmers to be able to sustain themselves and their families. Additionally, as the sector is developed opportunities for sustainable employment will emerge within this sector. With an increase in food production T&T will be able to reduce our food import bill and therefore reduce the outflows of foreign exchange.
