Saint Lucia’s cocoa beans are among the highest quality, being fine or flavour cocoa, and The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Saint Lucia Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development are working diligently together to grow and expand the local cocoa sector.
The Programme for Capacity Building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements in ACP Countries (ACP MEAs 3), a partnership among the European Union, the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), funds the project. The programme aims to build capacity in 79 countries in Africa, Caribbean, and the Pacific (ACP) to support them in fulfilling their obligations as parties to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), to address the environmental challenges they face and to reap the benefits of improved environmental governance at national and regional levels.
