Registration Deadline Extended to September 26, 2025, for the 30th Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Marine Resources in St. Kitts has announced an extension to the registration deadline for the highly anticipated 30th Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo. Driven by overwhelming public interest and a desire to accommodate as many participants as possible, the new deadline is set for Friday, 26th September 2025. While all designated open booth spaces have been allocated, the Ministry is making a concerted effort to accommodate additional exhibitors by offering a limited number of 10×10 and 20×20 tent spaces. This decision underscores the Ministry’s commitment to inclusivity and providing maximum exposure for local businesses and individuals within the agricultural sector. The event promises to be a pivotal showcase for the Federation’s agricultural advancements, innovation, and product diversity.

The 2025 edition of the Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo carries added significance, coinciding with the prestigious 19th Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA 2025), also hosted in St. Kitts. This confluence of events presents a unique opportunity for local exhibitors to reach a broader audience, encompassing not only the local community but also over 300 delegates expected from across the Caribbean region. The anticipated influx of regional and international stakeholders promises to elevate the event’s profile, fostering networking opportunities, potential market expansion, and exposure to a diverse range of agricultural practices and products from across the Caribbean. Participating in both events offers a synergistic advantage, maximizing visibility and fostering potential collaborations on a regional scale.

The extension of the registration deadline serves as a final call for interested parties to secure their participation in this landmark event. The Ministry urges all individuals and businesses operating within the agricultural and marine sectors, including farmers, fishers, agro-processors, and related service providers, to capitalize on this extended opportunity. Exhibiting at the event offers a platform to showcase products, services, and innovations to a wide audience, potentially opening doors to new markets and business ventures. The Ministry’s commitment to facilitating participation aims to ensure that the event’s benefits are accessible to a broad spectrum of stakeholders, contributing to the overall growth and development of the agricultural sector in St. Kitts and Nevis.

Registration can be completed by visiting the Department of Agriculture in LaGuerite or by utilizing the QR code readily available on official promotional materials. This streamlined registration process aims to make participation as accessible as possible, encouraging maximum engagement from the agricultural community. The Ministry recognizes the importance of clear and accessible information dissemination and is actively promoting the event through various channels. Regular updates regarding both the Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo and the concurrent Caribbean Week of Agriculture are being disseminated through the Ministry’s official social media platforms and the dedicated CWA 2025 website. This multi-pronged communication strategy aims to ensure that stakeholders remain informed about event details, registration procedures, and any relevant updates.

The convergence of the 30th Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo with the 19th Caribbean Week of Agriculture creates a powerful synergy, amplifying the impact of both events.
