Roosevelt Skerrit, in his feature address, recognised their work as \u201cthe lifeblood of the country\u2019s economy\u201d and thanked them for their \u201cinvaluable\u201d contribution to the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<p>According to Eastern Caribbean Central Bank data, Agriculture contributes approximately XCD$230M to Dominica\u2019s economy. Recognising this contribution, and the potential for growth in the sector, the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica (GoCD) therefore aims to have agriculture contribute $700M to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2030. An \u201cattainable\u201d and \u201cabsolutely necessary\u201d goal, remarked Prime Minister Skerrit, who shed light on how food and water systems are adversely affected by severe weather- a serious threat to vulnerable populations. Securing of food systems is therefore, key to ensuring the sustainability of food supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Skerrit, in his address, highlighted the GoCDs contributions to the Agriculture sector through building of capacity through visible increases in production of root crops, plantain, vegetables, livestock and non-traditional crops, increases in exports and recent explorations of new markets for Dominican produce and reengaging of Regional partners. He however, cautioned members of the audience that while the Government did its part, they had a role to play as well, through the consumption of local produce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have called for us to consume more of what we grow and we have backed this up with investments in small farming enterprise, agro processing businesses and the provision of technical and financial support for young and established farmers to produce a variety of crops for sale both locally and regionally,\u201d remarked Prime Minister Skerrit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarket day with a difference is another opportunity to reiterate my consistent call to support local products, eat healthier foods and make wiser choices about our diet and health,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minster considers the annual Market Day with a Difference \/ Jounen La Plas \u00c9pi Yon Dif\u00e9wans\u201d organised by DEXIA (The Roseau Market Authority), \u201ca most significant activity on our independence calendar.&#8221; He told awardees that it is \u201ca platform for our nation to exalt the work you do and remind you of the key role you play in ensuring the food security of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The farmers, fishers and vendors that were awarded were as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Farmers\/Vendors at the Roseau Market:<\/p>\n<p>Helena Williams \u2013 1st place (prize sponsored by Do It Center)<\/p>\n<p>Philomen Pacquette \u2013 2nd place (prize sponsored by AID Bank)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Farmers who supply the Multi-Purpose Pack House (MPPH) (new award):<\/p>\n<p>Culmore Shillingford (prize sponsored by Fine Foods Supermarket, DEXIA and Jolly\u2019s Pharmacy)<\/p>\n<p>Kervin Vidal (prize sponsored by J.
