Jamaica Agricultural Society

Kingston & St. Andrew

Be the first to review

The Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS) was formed in 1895 under the instruction of the then Governor-General of Jamaica, Sir Henry Blake to stimulate the interest of all categories of farmers in the island in agricultural pursuits, and to establish a forum where all farmers could meet, discuss their problems to initiate plans, elect officers and to do all other things necessary for the welfare of the farming community. It is the oldest most deeply rooted organization in rural agricultural development in the Caribbean.

The core of the Jamaica Agricultural Society in representing the farming community is:

  • To foster domestic agricultural production for Jamaican farmers.
  • Support research and development in new methodologies and farming techniques in agricultural production and output.
  • To encourage “best practices” in agricultural development.
  • To foster efficiency and effectiveness in agricultural production, output and distribution.
  • Support ventures in agri-business as a means of increasing value added within the agricultural sector.
