CAN DO ! A NEW APPROACH
The Caribbean was the region which produced the most
dynamic sugar boom between the 1500s to 1800s. That innovation in sugar
production propelled Europe’s Industrial Revolution. Today, innovation in
agriculture needs boosting in the Caribbean and we need to introduce modern
business practices to the entire Caribbean agriculture landscape.
The Caribbean Agricultural Network (CAN) believes in
the philosophy of “CAN DO!” CAN marries the skills of agricultural
scientist, lawyers, marketers, innovators and the best in computer science
technology to enhance our agriculture. Our network links the
farmer, agriculture departments and exporters of agricultural
products with regional and international markets, financing, technology and
consumers to allow our producers to receive a better price. CAN intends
to partner with farmers across the Caribbean region so they can receive training
along with technical and business-management support to produce well-planned,
sophisticated crops.
Among the products the company will place focus on are
cocoa, ginger, yucca, yams, sweet potatoes, dasheen, oranges, mangoes, avocados
and mushrooms to name a few. Our network will also boost food security in our
region by introducing best business and other practices to boost agriculture
and fisheries. We also intend to partner with US farmers and others in the
Americas to share in the networking so necessary to absorb best practices.
"We need to create a business culture within
agriculture," our CEO Francis Richards has said. "We need to adopt
new technologies to improve production and new products, or product offerings,
penetrate new markets. In that fashion we can become trend setters in
food production. We need to adopt the attitude of 'NOW' No
Opportunity Wasted. "
Accordingly, CAN will be hosting a product launch of a small
quantity of fresh agricultural produce namely dasheen, ginger and hot peppers
(Morouga Red) under the patronage of His Excellency Hubert J. Charles,
Ambassador Permanent Representative - Permanent Mission of the Commonwealth of
Dominica to the OAS, on:-

- Where: 3060 Mitchellville Road
North Oak Professional Park
Bowie, MD 20716
- Time: Start 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Book that date!!
Since the aforementioned will be the initial step towards
the vision of greater collaboration under the umbrella of the Caribbean
Agricultural Network continued efforts will be made to embrace like minded
individuals and agencies.
