GEORGETOWN,  Guyana - After a 10-year hiatus, the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA), which was launched back in 1999, will be hosted by Guyana October 4-12. The steering committee for the event is drawn from the Agriculture Ministry, the Caribbean Community (Caricom), the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA).
The theme chosen for this edition of the CWA is, “Linking the Caribbean for Regional Food and Nutrition Security and Rural Development”.
Coming as it does after the second high level meeting of financial experts in The Bahamas two weeks ago with the International Financial Institutions (IFIs), prime ministers, finance ministers and private sector leaders, one would hope this exercise would lead to some kind of activity that would filter down and help the ordinary citizen in the region.
