The President's Message
Welcome to the St. Kitts Consortium of Farmers and Food Producers. As President, I am proud to lead an organization that stands at the heart of agricultural development and food security in our nation. With over a hundred direct members and leadership cooperatives, the Consortium is crucial for government and partner agencies in mobilizing support for farmers and food producers. We are committed to uniting the voices of those who work the land and craft our local products, while advocating for sustainable practices, improved market access, and the growth of agri-business in St. Kitts. This platform serves as a space to share our mission, celebrate our achievements, and build partnerships that strengthen our agricultural sector.

A Message of Collaboration
A Fundamental Goal
Strengthening the Farmer's ID Card
Access to affordable financing options through the local banking sector is provided through tripartite relations between the government, banks, and an Agricultural Trust Fund. Farmers will receive duty-free concessions on a pre-approved list of materials, equipment, and supplies. The consortium will also strengthen the farmer’s ID card to ensure automatic and hassle-free concessionary treatment at the Customs and Excise Department.
Our Organizational Structure
The Executive
The Consortium is led by an executive body comprising a president, vice president, secretary, treasure, assistant treasurer, assistant secretary, and five floor members (members of cooperatives and senior farmers).
The General Body
General Assembly
The General Assembly comprises cooperatives and individual members, including crop and livestock farmers, agro-processors and farming enthusiasts.
