Report on a study of the agricultural stations of the Ministry of Agriculture (Grenada)

Abstract

Information provided in this report serves a dual purpose. First, it constitutes a baseline document on agricultural stations likely to benefit from IICA's Technology Generation and Transfer Program. Secondly, the report will contribute toward MOA's efforts, through its planning unit, to collect and analyze as much information as possible to facilitate effective planning of the agricultural sector's overall development. Part of the report consists of information on the station' resources. Background information is given each of the five stations, and an outline of their administrative arrangements. Consideration is given to the acquisition and utilization of supplies, and the production costs of planting materials of four fruit tree crops (mango, avocado, citrus and soursop). Comparative expenditure and revenue for selected activities on two stations are also considered.
