what we do

The Barbados Agricultural Society is committed to demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between agriculture and other aspects of the national economy as well as shoring up the country’s food security through the delivery of homegrown food and by-products.

A legacy of Productivity

What we have accomplished over the years

The history of the Barbados Agricultural Society dates back to the 19th century,1845 to be exact. At that time Barbados was primarily an agrarian economy and a jewel in the British crown. Even back then it was recognised that farmers were stronger together and empowered by their critical role in producing food for the island and crops for export. 

Our Partner

The Barbados Agricultural Society almost on a daily basis maintains some form of relationship with the various industries and sectors that make our economy. The society works closely with these sectors in a continuous effort to help develop and protect our agricultural industry. The linkages often allow the relevant stakeholders to collectively develop strategies and solutions to the various issues that affect us at any given point in time.
