Roseau, Dominica July 21, 2011—Preparations are well underway for hosting the tenth annual Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) in Dominica from October 9th to 15th 2011.
A national steering committee and several subcommittees have been established to coordinate the events that will form part of the CWA. In addition, a secretariat, located on the ground floor of the former DBMC building on Goodwill Road is expected to become fully operational next week, from which all activities for the week-long event will be coordinated.
Delegations for the CWA will come from countries across the Caribbean as well as various regional and international organizations and agencies whose work are related to Agriculture. Nearly four hundred foreign participants will be in Dominica for the event. They are expected take part in discussions and activities as well as outline plans for further advancement of the agricultural sector.
Members of the regional alliance who are hosting the CWA in collaboration with the Government of Dominica are expected in the country on Friday 22nd July to take look at preparations for the major event.
While the main objective will be on advancing Caribbean agriculture and rural life, organizers also expect several sectors of the Dominica economy to derive both direct and indirect benefits from the CWA, chief among them, hotel and taxi operators.
An official press launch of the Caribbean Week of Agriculture is scheduled to be at the end of July.
