Ministry of Agriculture distributing nutmeg plants to non traditional nutmeg farmers on Grenada

Grenadines - Grenada

The Ministry of Agriculture has earmarked a limited number of nutmeg plants for distribution to non-traditional nutmeg farmers who may be interested in cultivating nutmeg on a small scale.

The Ministry will provide between 5 – 10 plants to interested persons on a first come, first served basis and based on the size of the plot of land. The plants will be available from Thursday 27th November, 2008 until Monday 1st December, 2008, at the Maran Propagation Station and will be distributed between 9:00 a. – 12:00 noon.

The distribution of nutmeg plants to non-traditional nutmeg farmers is part of the Ministry’s strategy to get more and younger persons involved in agriculture and to seek to revitalize the nutmeg industry.
Agriculture Minister Hon. Michael Lett said the resuscitation of the nutmeg industry is one of the pillars of the agriculture industry.

“There is a lot of potential in nutmegs and nutmeg production. It is one of the base products for the expansion of our manufacturing sector. It is also important because there are several high value by products which can be used as inputs into secondary products on the international market,” the Minister said.

Newsflash

First part of this website upgraded was the historical information about the Grenadines.
Now introducing some generic information for tourists and visitors of Carriacou. Meanwhile you could have a look at the Pictures of Carriacou - a large collection, including Shakespeare Mass, White Island and Hillsborough.

Please note that this website is no longer promoting the Paradise Inn hotel or the same hotel under its new name.
New management has made this the most unwelcoming lodging facility on the island.
Unsafe conditions at night, broken beds and non working fans are just an example of the lodging.
Worse even is the unwelcoming attitude of the staff.
For food you can find a lot better and faster elsewhere, unless you want to wait an hour for some fried eggs.
Update : This hotel no longer operates under the name Paradise Inn Carriacou
Many visitors had written about their experiences on reliable websites like the Yahoo travel siite and TripAdvisor.
Hardly any of these reports had a positive comment.
Some people reported atrocious holiday experiences in this hotel.
One couple returned to their room to find the maid sleeping in their bed.......
Another family left the hotel after their daughter was harrassed here...
A whole family got sick after eating chicken wings in the so called restaurant.
Chicken wings being the only item available....
No hot water ANYWHERE in this hotel, not in the kitchen neither... a kitchen where under the sink you will find a large bin with kitchen waste.
This bin stays there all day in the heat untill it gets fed to the pigs. Obvious that the frothing slug in this bin is one of the best ways to spread infections.

If you are not sure whether you have already booked in this place under the new name :
It is located at the south end of Paradise Beach on Carriacou, and the so called restaurant is painted in blue.
