Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, and Forestry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Consumer Affairs engaged the Grenada Association of Poultry Producers and other stakeholders and has identified a number of interim measures to address the shortage of eggs on the local market.
Given the increasing demand for eggs from the hotel and tourism sector as well as individual households, some interim measures will be instituted. These include:
Collaborating with the Ministry of Trade to allow for the temporary importation of eggs to help alleviate the current shortage.
Partnering with the Grenada Association of Poultry Producers to conduct an assessment to determine the level of readiness for egg production.
Assisting the association to return to pre-pandemic production levels.
Engaging with stakeholders of the poultry sub-sector to develop a mechanism to mitigate any potential future shortage of eggs.
