Happy World Coconut Day!!! 🥥🥥

Did You Know?
It is commonly believed that the name “coconut” was given by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century because the three holes on the coconut looked like a human face. “Coco” means “laughing face,” or “grimace.” The English word “nut” was only added later on.

Time to invest in agriculture

We all agree that there is never a perfect time to invest in agricultural production, especially because the economic and environmental conditions are so unpredictable.

However, most of Jamaica's macroeconomic indicators have been positive over the past four years. Interest rates and inflation remain relatively low, and investors continue to seek safe, viable projects and high performing stocks to put their money.

The availability of low-cost money and a growing export and domestic market for a wide variety of farm produce and manufacturing goods are enough to stimulate investment in agriculture. There are also several thousand acres of government and privately-owned lands that are available for viable farming operations.

At the same time, local farmers are unable to meet the increasing demand for selected Jamaican produce and other foods for both domestic and export markets.

Jamaica's food imports for 2018 was US$902M, while exports struggle at US$218M. Food imports are projected to inch up to the $1 billion mark in 2020. These include a wide range of fruits, vegetables as well as fish, meat and poultry which could be profitably produced locally.

Besides, there are some three million people in Jamaica and perhaps another equal number in the diaspora who crave Jamaican foods and products.

As a guide for investors, we are highlighting Jamaican products -- sweet potato, red sorrel, ginger, cassava, mango, onion, yam, irish potato, tomatoes, scotch bonnet pepper, carrot, g***a, red peas, beekeeping or apiculture, dairy, goat, poultry, pineapple, sweet pepper and layer -- as among the best agricultural investment options for 2020.
