Projects for Future<br />
Development<br />
The development <strong>of</strong> the nutmeg industry<br />
in <strong>Grenada</strong> is essential for Economic<br />
Development. All stakeholders would<br />
be required to work forcefully and<br />
conscientiously to ensure the future<br />
progress and incessant development <strong>of</strong><br />
this sub-sector. It is imperative that any<br />
strategic plan for future development<br />
<strong>of</strong> the industry must be inclusive <strong>of</strong> the<br />
following critical areas: programmes<br />
to stimulate production, research and<br />
development, development <strong>of</strong> germplasm<br />
bank, manufacturing facilities that would<br />
encourage the processing <strong>of</strong> value added<br />
products and most importantly, the<br />
modernization <strong>of</strong> all processing plants<br />
with ISO and HACCP certification which<br />
is critical since in the near future quality<br />
regulations and standards enforced by<br />
the European Market may prove to be a<br />
major barrier to nutmeg trade.<br />
