Ua kūʻai aku ka poʻe mahiʻai liʻiliʻi o Jamaica i $125,000,000 i loko o ʻeono mahina i nā hōkele me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi polokalamu ʻenehana i kūkulu ʻia e Jamaica's Tourism Enhancement Fund- Bartlett. ʻO kēia ka US $ 800,000.00.
Ua haʻi aku ka Hon. ʻO Pearnel Charles Jr, ka Luna Hoʻokele, o ka Tourism Enhancement Fund, Dr. Carey Wallace, Luna Nui, o ka Mana hooulu mahiai kuaaina (RADA), Mr. Winston Simpson, Lunahoomalu o ka Hui Hana Hana Aina Mahiai, Tourism Linkages Network, Mr. Wayne Cummings, Luna Hookele, o Tourism Linkages Network (TLN), Carolyn McDonald-Riley, a me na lala e ae o ka hui Linkages, Luna Komite o ʻO ka Hui Kūʻai Kūʻai Kūʻai (TLN), nā lālā kiʻekiʻe o nā limahana ma ka Ministry of Tourism, TEF, Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries a me RADA kekahi o ka poʻe i hele i ka hālāwai i kēia lā.
ʻO ka maikaʻi o ka ea a mākou e hanu ai, ka wai a mākou e inu ai, a me ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai he mea koʻikoʻi ia no ka mālama ʻana i ke ola a pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia i ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka pono o kā mākou meaʻai no ka ʻai kanaka e like me nā kūlana olakino e ʻae ʻia.
I nā kenekulia i hala, i ka wā e ʻimi wale ai nā kāne, pepehi a ʻai pū me ko lākou ʻohana, ʻaʻohe kūlana olakino, a hiki ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia ʻaʻole pono lākou no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou e noho i kahi honua i piha i nā mea ʻawaʻawa a haumia e nā ʻoihana. paulele e like me keia manawa. He pilikia kēia i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka manaʻo o nā alakaʻi o ka honua i nā makahiki he 30 a i ʻole i hala aku nei i ko lākou kikeke ʻana i nā poʻo i ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi hopena honua.
Ma mua o kēia makahiki, ua hoʻopuka ka United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (UNFAO) i kāna paʻi - "ʻO ka Moku'āina o ka Honua a me nā Waiwai Wai no ka Meaʻai a me ka Mahiʻai 2021: Pūnaehana ma Breaking Point," a ʻōlelo ʻia, "ʻo ka hoʻomāʻona ʻana i ka loli ʻana o nā ʻano meaʻai a me ka piʻi ʻana o ka noi no ka meaʻai e hoʻoikaika nui i ka wai o ka honua, ʻāina, a me nā kumuwaiwai lepo."
I ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka mea e pili ana i ka palekana meaʻai mai kahi ʻano mākaʻikaʻi, nui nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai no ka mea, ʻoiai mākou e ʻimi nei e hāʻawi i kā mākou poʻe kipa i kahi ʻike Jamaican maoli ma o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka meaʻai i hana ʻia me nā huahana a me nā huahana i ulu a hana ʻia ma Jamaica ma ka lima o Jamaicans, pono mākou e hoʻomanaʻo e pili ana mākou i nā poʻe o nā ʻano moʻomeheu like ʻole a me nā ʻano like ʻole.
ʻIke ʻia kēia mau mea e ka United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), ka mea i hoʻopuka i kahi puke palekana meaʻai āpau, e ʻōlelo ana "ʻo ka maikaʻi, ka maʻemaʻe, a me ka palekana o ka meaʻai kekahi o nā kumu kūleʻa koʻikoʻi i ka mākaʻikaʻi." Ua ʻōlelo hou ka manual "ʻo nā ʻike maikaʻi akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā lawelawe meaʻai hiki ke hoʻopilikia nui i ka ʻike o nā wahi e hele ai."
ka UNWTOHe laulā loa ka manuale akā no ko mākou kumu, ua manaʻo mākou he pono e hāʻawi i kā mākou mau mea pili i ka mākaʻikaʻi i kahi manual e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻike piha e pili ana i nā kūlana honua akā ua hōʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano maʻalahi a hoʻomaopopo ʻia.
ʻO ka palekana meaʻai kahi kaulahao e hoʻomaka ana ma ke kula a i ʻole ka mea kanu hana a hoʻomau i nā pae āpau a hiki i ka papa ʻaina, e hōʻoia ana e hoʻokō ʻia nā kūlana maikaʻi ma nā pae āpau. ʻO ka gastronomy, a i ʻole ka meaʻai, ka hapa nui o ka lawe ʻana i nā mākaʻikaʻi a ʻo ia ke kumu i hoʻokani nui ai ka Tourism Linkages Network i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o ka poʻe mahiʻai i ka ʻoihana mahiʻai a me ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi a me ka hoʻokipa.
No laila, ʻo ko mākou hele ʻana ma ʻaneʻi i kēia lā e like me ka pahuhopu e hoʻoikaika i nā pilina mahiʻai a me nā mākaʻikaʻi i loko o ka hoʻokele Jamaican. ʻO ka Tourism Linkages Network, ma o ka Agriculture Technical Working Group (ATWG), ua hoʻolālā a hoʻokō i kekahi mau hana hoʻomohala hou e hōʻoia i ka lako ʻana o nā mahiʻai e hoʻolako i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi me ka ʻike kūpono e hoʻomaka ai a hoʻomau i ka hana pono.
E hoʻomaopopo wale, ʻo ke kaulahao meaʻai mākaʻikaʻi he mea koʻikoʻi i ke ola, ulu, a me ka hoʻomau o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi. Me ka piʻi ʻana o nā hopohopo e pili ana i ka palekana o ka meaʻai a me ka pilikia e pili ana i ka maʻi i lawe ʻia i ka meaʻai, pono ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kaʻina hoʻomalu ma nā pae āpau o ke kaulahao meaʻai mākaʻikaʻi e hōʻoia i ka palekana o ka lawe ʻana i nā meaʻai i nā malihini a me nā limahana hoʻokipa ma Jamaica.
E like me ke koena o ka honua, he mea koʻikoʻi kēia no ka hoʻi ʻana o Jamaica mai ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19. Ua ʻike mākou i nā maʻi maʻi e kū mai ana ma nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua i hoʻopili ʻia i ke kaulahao meaʻai.
No laila, ʻoi aku ka nui o kēia manawa ma mua o ka wā ma mua e hāʻawi i ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka poʻe malihini e mālama mau ana ka lako meaʻai mākaʻikaʻi o Jamaica, maʻemaʻe, a me ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe loa.
Pono e mahalo ʻia, no laila, ʻo nā mea hoʻolako mahiʻai i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi e hōʻoia i ka nānā ʻana i nā kulekele palekana meaʻai kūpono e hōʻemi i ka hopena o nā maʻi pili i ka meaʻai.
ʻO ka Papahana Hoʻopalekana Meaʻai a nā mea hoʻolako mahiʻai i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka TEF i kēia lā e hoʻonohonoho i nā kaʻina hana e pili ana i nā kūlana honua a ua hoʻomohala ʻia me ka hui pū ʻana me ka Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, ka Bureau of Standards Jamaica, ka Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), ka Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA). ), nā mea pili i ka mākaʻikaʻi a me ke Kuhina Ola.
Me ke kākoʻo a me ke kākoʻo piha o kēia mau hui, manaʻo ʻia e lilo ka manual i kumu ʻike no ka poʻe mahiʻai, nā mea hana agri-processors, a me nā mea hana e hoʻolako i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻO ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā pilina i hana mua ʻia e kūkulu hou i ka hiki o kā mākou poʻe mahiʻai nāna e hoʻolako i ka Agri-Linkages Exchange. (ALEX) kahua a me nā mea hana i komo i nā papahana TLN ʻē aʻe, e like me nā hanana alemanaka e like me ka Kalikimaka i Iulai, ka Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Festival, a me nā ʻaha kūkā a me nā haʻawina olakino.

ʻO ka nānā ʻana i nā pilina me kekahi mau keʻena ʻē aʻe a me nā wahi koʻikoʻi i uhi ʻia ma ka Agricultural Suppliers Food Safety Manual e hāʻawi i ka lehulehu ākea i ka mahalo nui ʻana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi a kōkua iā lākou e hoʻomaopopo he ʻoi aku ia ma mua o ka hele ʻana mai o ka poʻe huakaʻi. i ko mākou mau kapakai e loaʻa i ka manawa maikaʻi e kipa aku ai i nā wahi hoʻokipa a i ʻole hoʻomaha ʻana ma ko mākou mau kahakai.
He kuleana ko mākou no ka palekana a me ke kūlana o ka noho maikaʻi ʻana o kā mākou poʻe malihini, a no laila, pono e mālama ʻia kēlā me kēia hana i kēlā me kēia manawa o ko lākou noho ʻana e hōʻoia i ko lākou hele ʻana mai i ʻaneʻi me ke olakino a haʻalele i ʻaneʻi.
Ma mua o ka pani ʻana, e ʻae mai iaʻu e kaʻana aku iā ʻoe i kekahi mau papahana kūleʻa ʻē aʻe i hoʻopau ʻia e ka Hui Hana ʻOihana Mahiai.
Ua hoʻonui ka hui i ka mahiʻai strawberry me ʻumikūmālima (15) mau mahiʻai e hana ana i nā strawberry ma o ke kālā mai ka Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF), a ʻewalu (8) o lākou e hoʻolako mau nei i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi.
Ma waena o 30 a 40 pākēneka o nā huakeke i ulu ʻia e kēia poʻe mahiʻai e kūʻai pololei ʻia i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi a me ka hoʻokipa. He kumu waiwai kēia no ka poʻe mahiʻai a me nā waihona kālā o nā ʻāina ʻē no ka ʻāina, ʻoiai ma mua o nā strawberry a pau i lawelawe ʻia ma ko mākou mau hōkele a me nā hale ʻaina e lawe ʻia mai.
E hāʻawi wale iā ʻoe i ka manaʻo o nā kahawai loaʻa i wehe ʻia i nā mahiʻai strawberry; ma ka awelika, kūʻai aku ka poʻe mahiʻai me hoʻokahi hale strawberry i kēia manawa he $800 no ka paona i nā kamaʻāina a me $1,200 no ka lb. o nā hua i kēlā me kēia pule a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka loaʻa kālā mai ke kūʻai ʻana aku ma luna o 30 mau mea hānai strawberry i kēlā me kēia mahina ma $200 no ka mea hānai.
Mai kahi mahiʻai 3,000 sq. ft., loaʻa iā lākou ka loaʻa kālā o ka mahina o $164,000 a hiki i $ 1,388,000 i kēlā me kēia makahiki no 6 a 7 mau mahina o ka hana. Ma kahi o 40% o nā mea i loaʻa e hele i nā lilo hana.
Hōʻike ka poʻe mahiʻai me ʻekolu a ʻoi aku paha nā hale strawberry ke kūʻai aku nei lākou i nā strawberry ma ka $1,000 no ka paona i ka puka mahiʻai i nā hōkele, nā mea kūʻai aku, a me nā hale kūʻai kūʻai. ʻOhi lākou i ka awelika o 1,600 paona i kēlā me kēia mahina, e loaʻa iā lākou kahi kālā he $1,600,000. ʻO kā lākou loaʻa kālā makahiki he $11,200,000 no nā mahina 6-7 e hiki mai ana, me kahi $2,794,000 e hele ana i nā lilo hana.
He mea hoihoi ia ke kākoʻo ʻia ka poʻe mahiʻai strawberry he ʻumikūmālima e kahi hale ma ke Koleke o Agriculture Science and Education (CASE), i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka noiʻi a kōkua i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka ʻike e pili ana i nā ʻano like ʻole e ulu ai ma Jamaica.
ʻO kahi hana nui ʻē aʻe ʻo ka papahana Agri-Linkages Exchange, ka mea e hoʻomau i ka pōmaikaʻi i ka poʻe mahiʻai 1,200 a me nā mea kūʻai aku 247 i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ma ka paepae, a ke hoʻomau nei ka ALEX Center i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mahiʻai a me nā hōkele ma ka pūnaewele, i hoʻolako ʻia e kahi hui o ʻeono Agri. - nā mea hoʻolimalima.
E nā lede a me nā keonimana, hauʻoli wau i ka hōʻike ʻana ma waena o Ianuali a me ʻOkakopa o kēia makahiki, aia ma lalo o J $125 miliona o nā huahana i kūʻai ʻia ma o ka pūnaewele.
Hoʻomaikaʻi pū ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā kaiāulu kuaʻāina a me nā papahana mahiʻai kaiaulu sUa hoʻokō maikaʻi ʻia ma Westmoreland, St. Catherine, St. James, a me St. Elizabeth e pōmaikaʻi ma kahi o 130 mau mahiʻai i hoʻopaʻa inoa me RADA a ke hoʻolako nei iā ALEX.
Pēlā nō, ma lalo o kahi papahana pahu wai kākoʻo, ua hoʻolako ʻia nā pahu wai he kanahiku i ka poʻe mahiʻai ma St.
I ka pau ʻana, ke kakali nei au i kēia a me nā puke koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe i hana ʻia a paʻi ʻia e ka Ministry of Tourism ma o kāna mau hui lehulehu, kahi e mākaukau maikaʻi ai kā mākou mau hoa a me nā mea kuleana i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana a koi aku i ka mālama ʻana i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe.
