Executive chairman of the Bahamas Agricultural and Industrial Corporation Edison Key told the House of Assembly about a number of ways the government is working to improve agriculture:
- The North Andros Agricultural Expansion Project – 561 acres in Andros for growing export-quality vegetables, citrus, tropical fruits and livestock
- Two refrigerated trailers offered at a "nominal" fee to help farmers get their goods to market in the best condition possible.
- Meetings between farmers and buyers will continue with an aim to get produce to markets throughout the country

I'm excited about this. A friend from Abaco once told me that we export our produce, and then import it from Florida. I don't know if it's true or not but I'd love to support local industry by buying Bahamian.
