The Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries hosted the second installment of the Agri-investment fora and expos in the region from August 19-21, 2022. The theme of the Forum was “Transforming Agriculture through Innovation and Investment”. Amongst other noted benefits, the Forum culminated with four (4) Memoranda of Understanding signed between the CARICOM Private Sector Organization and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean Supermarket Association, Caribbean Manufacturers’ Association and the Caribbean Business Association.

Following the success of the event in 2022, the Honourable Prime Minister announced that the event should be hosted annually. In this regard, the TT Agri Expo 2023 will be hosted by the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. This Agri Expo is the ideal platform designed to stimulate conversations among key stakeholders, such as policymakers, potential foreign and local investors, farmers, distributors, to amplify investments and achieve the vision of reducing the food import bill by twenty-five percent (25%) by 2025.

The TT Agri Expo is strategically aligned to the GoRTT’s Policy on strengthening the Country’s agriculture sector and reducing its reliance on imported foods.  It adds a new dimension of Regional Trade and Investment to the GoRTT’s drive towards food security and reduced food import profile. The proposed theme and expected outcomes include:

‘Farm to Table: Revolutionising the Local Food Supply Chain’

• Promote the importance of local food production and consumption for economic growth and food security.
• Highlight the role of each stakeholder in the food supply chain, from producers to consumers, in supporting local agriculture.
• Foster partnerships between farmers, processors, distributors, retailers, and consumers to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the local food supply chain.
• Showcase innovative approaches and best practices in strengthening the farm-to-table value chain.

The Expo will open on August 25 to August 27, 2023 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, San Fernando at 10:00 am until 8:00 pm each night.
