Four Pillars of the Economy

Economic growth is the core of our mission, and we will achieve this by building the four pillars of the economy – agriculture, tourism, the blue economy, and the new economy.
We want to enhance each of these sectors, unleashing economic opportunity across the country,
creating jobs and growing wages

Agriculture

AN NDP GOVERNMENT WILL

  • Establish a separate Ministry for Fisheries to sharpen the Government’s focus.
  • Establish a National Marketing Board to drive exports and ensure that we can let farmers focus on what they do best.
  • Invest new equipment to support farmers.
  • Re-introduce agricultural science at schools in our country to help develop the next generation of farmers.
  • Upgrade existing roads across our farming communities and build new feeder roads to access more lands. The multiplier effects of feeder roads can never be overstated as access to and from the farm is of paramount importance.

  • Use available technology such as fish finders, FADs, and other available resources to assist fisher folks.
  • Liaise with appropriate European regulatory bodies to allow for the lifting of the ban on our fish products such as conchs and lobsters.
