Carriacou to be developed as a Centre of Excellence for the production of small ruminants

The Ministry of Agriculture has embarked on activities geared at increasing livestock production in Grenada. Livestock production was one area identified in the recent Strategic Planning Retreat as requiring immediate attention. The Retreat also recommended that Carriacou be developed as a Centre of Excellence for the production of small ruminants.

As a result, Livestock Consultant in the Ministry of Agriculture Mr. Pinnel Mwasha and Livestock Officer Mr. Nugent Bernard traveled to Carriacou today for a weeklong assignment with the Ministry of Carriacou and Petit Martinique Affairs.

Whilst in Carriacou the officers will

Review a Project Document prepared by Caribbean Agricultural Development and Research Institute (CARDI) and the Inter -American Institute on Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA) on the Establishment of a Viable and Sustainable Livestock Industry in Carriacou.
Carry out practical training on small ruminant with farmers and find out possibility of initiating Small Ruminant Farmer Groups
Identify sites where “Farmers Field Schools” could be launched for training farmers.

In an effort to develop the Poultry Industry, Poultry Officer in the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Derek Thomas will also travel to Carriacou on Wednesday to conduct training with Poultry farmers on all aspects of Poultry Rearing/Production.

As it relates to food crops, two officers from the Agricultural Division of the Ministry of Carriacou and Petit Martinique Affairs are currently on assignment to the Mirabeau Agricultural Station. They are being exposed to all aspects of plant propagation which would sharpen their skills to enable them to undertake the relevant tasks required to recommence a nursery in Carriacou.

The propagating of adequate quantities of seedlings for utilization by the farming community has been identified as one area needing immediate attention. That has been taken very seriously by the Ministry and every effort is being made to ensure that a wide variety of seedlings are available to farmers and the general public at the commencement of the planting season in June 2009.

Newsflash

Notice to all visitors.

Turtle for the kitchen of Paradise Inn The content about the former Paradise Inn Carriacou has been unavailable for some time. This place now operates under a new name, since many visitors were extremely unhappy about it and wrote their experiences on sites like TripAdvisor and Yahoo travel guides.
My own experiences under the new management were extremely unpleasant and it even got dangerous staying in this hotel.
Bear in mind that there is no staff here at night and no measures for safety have been taken.
Property of guests disappears while the staff does not handle such problems. Some rooms dont even lock properly...

Dishonesty : The webhosting and maintenance, design and all other costs related have never been paid by the hotel owner Peter A.
The deal we had (free lodging in return for a good website) was not honoured by him, nor the promised pay of my flight to Carriacou.
Attempts to steal this website from me, later on threats and then even imprisonment for three days on false accusation was the result.
False quoting : Several hotel guests complained after they discovered that they had to pay 25 percent more then the price quoted. Complaints to be sent to the hotel owner in London, never received replies to those complaints....
The hotel is now using frequently changing email addresses from gmail or msn, probably to avoid receiving complaints...

But... I got several requests from visitors to make the Carriacou information easily accesible again.
I keep these pages online now.
As before, the Paradise Inn-related content will stay offline,
The former pleasant hotel Paradise Inn does not exist as such anymore.
It is now completely rundown and staff is unfriendly, even hostile towards visitors.
That is why I advise you not to visit this hell inn, but choose another hotel for your vacation on Carriacou.

Even though it now operates under a new name, you will know that it is the same one if you are on the south end of Paradise Beach on Carriacou and you see a blue building. If you are ignored by the staff when you enter you are shure that this is the same Hell Inn.
