This year’s Denbigh Agricultural Industrial and Food Show was a resounding success, with Agro-Invest at the forefront of driving innovation and investment in Jamaica’s agricultural sector. From advanced technology demonstrations to meaningful discussions with key government officials, our presence at Denbigh 2024 was truly transformative.
Some of the event’s highlights were the Farmers’ Seminar, where GK Insurance provided valuable insights into their Weather Protection Plans, offering our farmers essential tools to safeguard their livelihoods against unpredictable climate challenges. WUSC presented on hurricane resilient crops and handed out cassava slips to farmers. SkyCrop Solutions had an incredible drone demonstration, showcasing their cutting-edge agriculture drone, which illustrated how technology can revolutionize farming practices, making them more efficient and sustainable.
The Agro Invest booth was a hub of activity throughout the event. Attendees were treated to a remarkable drone demonstration led by our partner, SkyCrop Solutions. Their cutting-edge Agriculture Drone showcased how technology can revolutionize farming practices, making them more efficient and sustainable. We also had the pleasure of hosting Hon. Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Hon. Minister Floyd Green, who stopped by to learn about our latest investment opportunities and innovative technologies, including our new electronic online application for the Southern Plains Agricultural Development land lease opportunity.
Our commitment to building back with resilience was further emphasized through our collaboration with @utechjamaica, who conducted a seminar on farm designs to prevent flooding. Additionally, the @forestrydepartment made a significant contribution by providing 100 ackee seedlings to farmers and patrons at our booth, reinforcing the importance of sustainable farming practices. Furthermore, the seminar conducted by WUSC on selecting hurricane-resilient crops provided farmers with essential knowledge to protect their investments in an era of increasingly severe weather events.
As we look to the future, Agro-Invest remains dedicated to revitalizing Jamaica’s agricultural landscape. We are proud to offer new opportunities, including land leases through the Southern Plains Agricultural Development project. These efforts, combined with our focus on modern farming techniques and advanced agro-technology, are central to our mission of empowering farmers and enhancing food security across the island.
