The Agro-Investment Corporation (Agro-Invest) and the National Fisheries Authority (NFA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at fostering sustainable development and enhancing investment opportunities within the fisheries industry.
Both parties signed the document in a ceremony held on May 12 at Agro-Invest’s headquarters on Spanish Town Road in St Andrew, thus solidifying the strategic partnership geared towards strengthening and advancing aquaculture in Jamaica. The agreement focuses on the development of a 300-acre aquaculture agro-park at Amity Hall in St Catherine.
According to Vivion Scully, CEO of Agro-Invest, “This collaboration represents a pivotal step towards modernising Jamaica’s aquaculture industry and expanding our agricultural value chain. We are excited to work alongside the National Fisheries Authority to attract both local and international investments that will create jobs, strengthen food security, and boost economic growth.”
