5 Parish Overview 39 Hotels in Negril (JHTA Members) Tourism employs almost 60,000 Jamaicans in Westmoreland Farmers (Female-2942, Male-6840) Eight (8) extension areas Savanna-La-Mar, Williamsfield, Grange- hill, Little London, Darliston, Bethel Town, New Works, Leamington Main Crops Sugar Cane, Corn, Dasheen, Vegetables, Irish Potato, Sweet Potato, Coco, Scotch Bonnet Pepper, West Indian Red Pepper, Sweet Pepper, Banana, Plantain, Sorrel, Pineapple.
6 Held every last Wednesday of each month (so as to not conflict or directly compete with the municipal markets). Assist 35 registered RADA farmers monthly. It positively impacts the lives of farmers from 6 Parishes (Hanover, Westmoreland, St. James, Trelawny, St. Elizabeth and Manchester). 75% of Farmers are usually from the Parishes of Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth. It is supported by Hotels, Guest Houses, Restaurants, Supermarkets and Green grocers.
7 It brings synergy between local authorities and the farming community. (Negril Chamber of Commerce, JCF, JHTA, RADA, Farmers).
8 Lack of trust between Hoteliers and Farmers Lack of synergy between MOAF and MOT, JHTA. Negative cultural practices. (No Record Keeping, C.O.P., Bad Post Harvest Management) Farmers are usually unable to wait for long periods for payment. Farmers inconsistency in quantity and quality of produce. Large hotels are reluctant in taking produce from a farmer, they prefer to have a relationship with a single supplier which can supply multiple agricultural produce consistently. It simplifies their data base and reduces time and cost.
9 Reluctance of farmers in doing C.O.P. (Unable to tell when they are breaking even, operating at a loss or profit). Farmers are usually unable to transport produce using a box body truck, crates and cooling systems due to the high cost associated with such assets. Hotels reluctance in providing information regarding the quantity of produce used during the various seasons. This would help in production planning with MOAF, RADA and Farmers.

14 Agriculture Business Information System (ABIS) provides relevant production data and farmer contacts in Jamaica to stakeholders including hotels. Negril s Farmer s Market contributes approximately $7.5 mil JMD to approximately 35 farmers monthly. The most successful market contributed approximately $18 mil to 85 farmers and moved approximately 120,000 lbs. Sandals Foundation built a Greenhouse in the Robins River Community in Westmoreland. Through the JAMPRO Linkages Forum and the Negril Farmer s Market RADA was able to get a few selected farmers supplying selected items to small and medium sized hotels (Seasonal).
15 Jamaica s Tourism Enhancement Fund sponsoring the RADA Negril Farmers Market has facilitated in making it a monthly and permanent fixture in the tourist town of Negril. As a result of the successes of the Negril Farmers Market, St. James RADA and St. Anns RADA have introduced similar strategies in Mobay and Ocho Rios which are prominent tourist areas. Negril Farmers Market drives other socioeconomic benefits. (Bike Taxi)
