Annual Agriculture Review 2008 - Government of Grenada

With Agriculture Production Data
or agriculture census, the Ministry of
Agriculture would be better able to
analyse trends in production which
would allow reorientation of its
support programmes to those areas
which are either most in need or which
demonstrate the best potential for
development. In the wider society, the
presence of comprehensive statistics on
agriculture would indicate quite lucidly
the impact the sector is making in the
socio-economic life of the country, its
contribution to GDP and as provider of
rural employment in particular. Finally,
donor agencies providing assistance to
agricultural development would be in
a better position to assess the impact
of their assistance on the output of the
critical agricultural sector.
