The government in Jamaica has taken steps to make it easier for people who want to get into greenhouse agriculture:
In a move to boost agricultural production, Finance Minister Audley Shaw has announced the Government’s willingness to grant waivers to persons who want to set up greenhouses.
“All the greenhouse material that’s wanted in Jamaica, I’ll sign waivers for it,” Shaw told a Gleaner Editors’ Forum at the offices of the Christiana Potato Growers Co-operative Association in Christiana, Manchester, on Friday.
“I signed several last week. (I will sign waivers for) any greenhouse material needed to be imported, duty free,” Shaw declared.
The Jamaica Greenhouse Growers Association (JGGA) has applauded the Government’s decision to reactivate the waiver system that will allow for duty-free importation of construction material for greenhouses.
The full story is at the Gleaner website.

I’m starting a farm in Jamaica and am on the lookout for either of these:
* A free greenhouse
* A cheap greenhouse
* A greenhouse owner/company willing to let me buy your greenhouse in installments via a percentage of profits from vegetables grown in the greenhouse
Please let me know if you can help.
Many thanks.
