Carriacou and Petite Martinique are one step closer to reclaiming their place as leaders in livestock production with the arrival of hybrid sheep and goats at the Limlair Livestock Station.
With the completion of three new animal pens, the station is now positioned to play a major role in revitalizing the livestock industry. Carriacou and Petite Martinique were once widely known for the production of the prized Black Belly Sheep.
The farm suffered significant damage during the passage of Hurricane Beryl. Since then, the Division of Agriculture within the Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs & Local Government has been working steadily to rebuild and restore operations.
An official handing-over ceremony is planned for Thursday, July 30th, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
Two of the new facilities were made possible through funding under the Climate Resilient Agriculture Integrated Landscape Management Project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The third pen was undertaken directly by the Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs & Local Government.
The introduction of hybrid animals and upgraded infrastructure signals a renewed commitment to strengthening food security, supporting farmers, and rebuilding the sister islands’ livestock sector.
