OBJECTIVES OF THE FORUM

The Agri Business Investment Forum is aimed at:

  • Providing potential investors and financial institutions with information on the changes in global and regional markets and in agro industry systems which could mean business opportunities for the Caribbean
  • Furnishing Investors with screened, solid, pre-feasibility projects which have good potential.
  • Provide space for Investors, Promoters and other stakeholders to dialogue and network on investment proposals privately or in open sessions.

The idea of the Investors’ Forum emerged from discussions among CARICOM Heads of Government about promoting growth in the sector. It was agreed that the increased levels of public and private financing would be needed to promote higher levels of innovation and growth and ensure that the Caribbean got its share of an increasing global market in food-based products.
