The “Agricultural Marketing Improvement” Project TCP/GRN/2901 is being implemented by the Grenada Government and FAO with the objective of improving incomes for fruit, vegetable and root crop growers through a more efficient agricultural marketing system. The project would enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture to help farmers, extension staff and inter- island traffickers to provide appropriate agricultural marketing advice and support services on post-harvest handling. This docume nt has been prepared based on the need to improve harvesting, handling and produce distribution in the Country and to increase exports. The document gives emphasis to specific crops produced in significant quantities or with a potential for increased production and marketing.

Promoting fruit and vegetable consumption 2021

Global fruit and vegetable (F&V) production and consumption are significantly below the threshold needed to meet the FAO and World Health Organization (WHO) recommended F&V intake. In 2017, approximately 4 million premature deaths globally were attributable to insufficient F&V consumption. Globally, very few policy actions specifically promote F&V consumption beyond school-based interventions. Communication and behavior change interventions are insufficient on their own. International evidence suggests that fiscal policies, and policies and programmes that increase access to fresh F&Vs through mobile produce markets can be effective in increasing F&V consumption.
