Jamaican government looking lease vacant land to improve food security

The Jamaican government is looking to lease vacant land owned by citizens for the use of agriculture production to increase the nation's food security. The country has developed a program to lease arable land from owners to farmers to grow their crops and is open to residents and expats owning a minimum of 100 acres. The initiative is being coordinated through the State Minister for Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries, the Agro-Investment Corporation, Rural Agricultural Development Authority, and JAMPRO.
