This publication summarizes the agricultural policy analyses conducted in nine Caribbean countries (Suriname, Guyana, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Belize, Barbados, The Bahamas, and Trinidad and Tobago) in the framework of the IDB’s Agrimonitor initiative. The document discusses how agricultural policies affect producers and consumers as well as how the limited funding for agricultural services, such as research and infrastructure, could limit the ability of Caribbean farmers to compete effectively in global markets. The analyses presented are therefore meant to contribute to the Caribbean’s regional dialogue for the design of more effective agricultural policies, which will be able to strengthen the sector and improve the lives of people in the region.

Focusing on the process of agricultural policy-making within the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), provides a context for understanding the evolving theory of regional integration among developing countries. Traces the progress of Caribbean integration from the mid-1960s to the present. Describes the move away from a market- oriented laissez-faire approach to agriculture and the shift toward sectoral programming. Examines the role of other regional organisations. Suggests that the future direction of regional co- operation among developing countries will be towards more intensive integration, but on a less extensive scale.
