As we honour Jamaica’s National Heroes, we also salute our food heroes. 🇯🇲 Mr. Condrick Farquharson is helping to keep us supplied with fresh fruits and vegetables. His dedication to farming highlights the important role our local producers play in strengthening food security.
Our National Heroes laid the foundation for the Jamaica we continue to build today. This National Heroes’ Day, we reflect on their contributions and recognise the importance of carrying their vision forward.
Honouring our past. Inspiring our future. 🇯🇲
As Jamaica honours our National Heroes, we also celebrate our food heroes: farmers and agro-processors who feed our nation. Despite natural disasters, supply chain disruptions and other challenges, farmers like Ms. Joan Blake continue to strengthen our food security.
NFA execute Jamaica’s first Marine Cage Culture Project! 🐟 Last week, the National Fisheries Authority (NFA), in partnership with the FAO, harvested approximately 5,000 lbs of Red Drum fish in Bowden Harbour, St. Thomas, with support from the JDF Coast Guard.
Last Friday, we joined the Jamaica Bauxite Institute for the handover of a refurbished classroom at the Mountainside Primary in St. Elizabeth. The project follows damage caused by Hurricane Beryl and represents a commitment to supporting the school community.
Min. of Agriculture, Fisheries & Mining, Jamaica retweeted
The National Fisheries Authority (NFA) is advancing efforts to diversify and strengthen Jamaica’s aquaculture sector through the introduction and development of Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) as a potential culture species.
While tilapia remains an important species, expanding Jamaica’s aquaculture portfolio beyond traditionally farmed species such as tilapia can provide opportunities to strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the sector.
