If you ever wanted to do farming in Jamaica this video is certainly a must watch. I’ve heard from some locals that agriculture should be the main industry in Jamaica, but all of us can see imported fruits and vegetables both in supermarkets and market places. Why? Why not just sell local goods to support local farmers. To answer this question, we’re making a set of videos about farming in Jamaica to cover the strong sides and some of the challenges.
