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

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Marine Resources in St. Kitts has announced an extension for registration to the highly anticipated 30th Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo, pushing the deadline to Friday, September 26, 2025. This decision comes in response to overwhelming public interest and demand for participation in this landmark event, which coincides with the 19th Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA 2025) also being hosted in St. Kitts. While all designated open spaces have been fully booked, the Ministry is making efforts to accommodate additional exhibitors by providing a limited number of 10×10 and 20×20 tent spaces. This adjustment underscores the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring broad participation and inclusivity, enabling a wider range of stakeholders to showcase their agricultural contributions.

The 30th Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo represents a pivotal event for the Federation, serving as a premier platform for showcasing the nation’s agricultural achievements, innovations, and potential. This year’s event takes on added significance due to the simultaneous hosting of CWA 2025, which is expected to draw over 300 delegates from across the Caribbean region. This convergence of national and regional agricultural focus provides an unparalleled opportunity for local exhibitors to gain significant exposure, network with regional and international stakeholders, explore new market opportunities, and interact with thousands of anticipated visitors. The combined events are poised to stimulate significant interest and activity within the agricultural sector, fostering collaboration and promoting growth.

The Ministry is actively encouraging all interested parties, including farmers, fishers, agro-processors, and other related businesses, to seize this unique opportunity and register for the event before the extended deadline. Participation in the Expo offers numerous benefits, including enhanced visibility, market expansion, networking opportunities, and the chance to contribute to the national and regional dialogue on agricultural development. Exhibitors can showcase their products, services, and innovations to a diverse audience, potentially forging valuable partnerships and contributing to the advancement of the agricultural sector both within St. Kitts and Nevis and across the Caribbean.

Registration details and further information regarding the event can be obtained by visiting the Department of Agriculture in LaGuerite or by scanning the QR code available on official promotional materials. These resources will provide prospective participants with comprehensive information about the event, including registration procedures, booth options, logistical arrangements, and other pertinent details. The Ministry is committed to providing support and guidance to all participants, ensuring a smooth and successful experience for everyone involved in this significant agricultural showcase.

In addition to registration information, the Ministry is also actively disseminating updates and announcements regarding both the 30th Agriculture Open Day and Marine Expo and CWA 2025 through its official social media platforms and the dedicated CWA 2025 website: https://cwa2025.caricom.org/. These online channels serve as valuable resources for staying informed about event schedules, guest speakers, featured activities, and other important updates. Prospective attendees and participants are encouraged to follow these platforms to stay abreast of the latest developments and to connect with other stakeholders in the agricultural community.

The synergy between the national Agriculture Open Day and the regional CWA 2025 promises to create a dynamic and impactful event, showcasing the vibrancy and importance of the agricultural sector in St. Kitts and Nevis and the wider Caribbean. The Ministry’s commitment to facilitating broad participation reflects its recognition of the vital role played by all stakeholders in driving agricultural development and achieving food security.
