GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Guyana will host the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) this year after a 10-year hiatus, senior programme coordinator of the Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Cooperation (CTA) Jose Fonseca announced Monday. The CWA, usually held in October, provides opportunities to profile aspects of agriculture in the Caribbean and affords regional agriculture ministers an occasion to seek to give meaning to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Agricultural Policy. Fonseca, speaking during a workshop on the implementation and mainstreaming of Regional Fisheries Policies into Small-scale Fisheries Governance Arrangements in the Caribbean, said “the Caribbean Week of Agriculture is additional opportunity for fisherfolks to engage with policy makers.”
