Caribbean Week of Agriculture Opens in Nassau

The 17th Caribbean Week of Agriculture gets underway in Nassau, the Bahamas, 9-13 October 2023 under the theme ‘Accelerating Vision 25 by 2025’.

The CWA provides a forum for the key decision-makers in the public and private sectors within the Region to highlight the importance of agriculture and rural life to the economic, social and environmental stability of Member States. It also affords the major stakeholders in agriculture and related sectors the opportunity to forge a common vision for the development of agriculture and the enhancement of rural life.

The official opening of CWA will be held on Tuesday at The Bahamas Breezes Resort and Spa in Nassau, where all the other activities, including seminars and the Exposition and Trade Show, will be held.
