The government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines says the country faces the risk of becoming food insecure due to the impact of climate change.
Minister of Agriculture Saboto Caesar says over the last four years the agricultural sector has been affected by several events including tropical storms, volcanic eruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic and the latest being Hurricane Beryl.
Caesar said the destruction caused by Hurricane Beryl on the coastal and southern areas of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has impacted farm and fish enterprises resulting in significant losses.
He said the pressure on agricultural imports will be magnified with consequences for food availability and increased food prices.
