An analysis of Jamaica's
agriculture support policies and programs shows that
Jamaican consumers are financing the bulk of supports to the
agriculture sector. This report estimates the agriculture
public support policies and programs of Jamaica between 2006
and 2011. This analysis of the agriculture programs and
policies provides an understanding of the level and
composition by type of support for different crops and
livestock producers during 2010-2011. The estimate of total
agriculture supports (measured as the total support
estimate, TSE) in Jamaica in 2011 was approximately United
States (U.S.) 675 million dollars (J$58.071 million),
representing 4.7 percent of total gross domestic product
(GDP) and 22.7 percent of agriculture GDP. Jamaica has been
facing significant development challenges over the last
three decades. It is in this context of fiscal restrictions
and potential further economic and social stagnation, that
the Government of Jamaica and the World Bank have been
prompted to take action to better understand the degree and
type of support Jamaican farmers are receiving. Once the
level of support is understood within Jamaica's
economic context, policy and program recommendations can be
made to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the
support structure, addressing agriculture sector
competitiveness issues and constraints. In this context, the
report presents introduction; supports to agriculture; and
summary and conclusions. |
