Synopsis (short abstract) This document presents the results of applying the Fishery Performance Indicators Development (FPI-DEV) tool to the large pelagic fisheries sector of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This rapid assessment tool is designed to support coastal and island developing countries, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in measuring improved sustainability outcomes for fishery systems. The report details improvements to be made to the five pillars of sustainable development: sustainable economic development, environmental sustainability, inclusive development, increasing scientific knowledge and ocean governance, with a focus on sustainable marine fisheries and seafood processing in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

    Developing Coconut Water and Composite Flour Value Chains in Saint Vincent and The Grenadines - TCP/STV/3501 2019

    Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has tried to reduce its reliance on banana exports since the European Union phased out preferential treatment to producers from African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP )countries. Against this background, there are indications that the development of coconut water and composite flour (based on cassava and sweet potato) value chains offers prospects for growth, as market demand for the end products is constantly increasing. However, in order to succeed in modern markets many challenges need to be addressed, including issues related to standards and food safety amongst others. The project provided technical assistance to introduce an inclusive and market-oriented development approach, and to improve the capacity within the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry Fisheries, Rural Transformation, Industry and Labour (the Ministry of Agriculture) to develop the two promising value chains in the country

    Saint Vincent and the Grenadines joined FAO in 1981. Early assistance was delivered through a range of interventions focusing on capacity building, policy formulation, agricultural planning and legislation development. More recently, interventions have addressed food security programmes, technology transfer for improved production and strengthening of market infrastructure. A major feature of current cooperation is resilience building in the face of climate change.

    Promoting Inclusive and Sustainable Agribusiness Development in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - UTF/STV/001/STV 2021
    Also available in:

    Saint Vincent and the Grenadines continues to face developmental challenges, especially in terms of reducing poverty and unemployment to levels that are compatible with its per capita income. As poverty is concentrated in rural areas, agricultural development remains crucial for addressing these challenges and supporting national food security. However, the agriculture sector has generally not adapted in an effective manner to the evolving demands of global trade networks. Moreover, market performance is hindered by the existing rudimentary market structure for fresh produce, the lack of aggregation of smallholders and the underdeveloped agro processing industry throughout the country. If strategic investments are made to improve agricultural productivity and increase producers’ access to markets, beneficial outcomes are expected for employment and income levels. With the national context in mind, this project was designed to strengthen the capacities of farmers, fishers, agro processors and aggregators, as well as Government staff, to apply inclusive and sustainable agribusiness development approaches that enhance market access and increase the sale of local agricultural produce.
