Current Assessment: A Broken Agricultural and Food System

Food Insecurity & Import Dependency

We empower farmers to replace imported food with high-quality, locally grown produce to boost food security and stabilize pricing.

Farmer Marginalization and Economic Instability

Smallholder farmers face low earnings, lack of financing, exploitative middlemen, and diminishing interest from youth, causing agricultural communities to weaken.

Broken Supply Chains and Post-Harvest Losses

Inefficient logistics, limited storage facilities and fragmented distribution networks lead to massive food wastage, lost incomes,= and food price inflation.

Lack of Access to Technology Platforms

Farmers lack access to modern tools, marketplaces, and real-time data insights, preventing them from participating competitively in evolving agricultural economies.

Absence of Cooperative & Financial Structures

Without access to insurance, financial planning or cooperative ownership models, farmers remain exposed to risks with no mechanisms for economic resilience.

Degradation & Unsustainable Practices

Conventional agricultural practices degrade soil, harm biodiversity and contribute to climate risks, threatening the long-term viability of farming ecosystems.

Barriers to Fresh, Nutritious, Affordable Food

Consumers struggle to access affordable, nutritious locally produced food, leading to dietary imbalances and rising rates of chronic diseases.

Policy Gaps and Farmer Underrepresentation

Smallholder farmers are underrepresented in policymaking, resulting in agricultural policies and programs that fail to address their needs and realities.

Lack of Circular Resources for all

There is limited access to continuous education, financial literacy, technical support and knowledge-sharing systems that empower both producers and consumers within a sustainable food ecosystem.

Limited Access to Market & Business Networks

Communities face rising food costs, poor access to local produce and nutrition insecurity contributing to health crises.

Harvesting a Stakeholder Ecosystem that is Measured in Growth

Happy Harvest Website

Aligning Government, Partners & Institutions to Drive Agricultural Transformation at Scale

Empowering every stakeholder to co-create a resilient, future-ready food system that delivers economic, social and environmental impact.

Happy Harvest

Happy Harvest is the primary implementing body and ecosystem architect behind the national agricultural transformation initiative. As the central hub, Happy Harvest designs and deploys the tools, infrastructure, partnerships, technologies and models that connect all stakeholders - farmers, consumers, government and the private sector, into one cohesive, regenerative food system. From digitization and direct-to-market logistics to capacity-building and export readiness, Happy Harvest leads the coordination of all ecosystem components while maintaining accountability to its social impact mission.

Ministry of Agriculture

The Ministry of Agriculture serves as the lead governmental authority responsible for overseeing the national implementation, strategic integration and policy alignment of Happy Harvest. It provides the enabling environment for farmer onboarding, land access, agri-incentives, extension services and regulatory coordination. As the Ministry with direct jurisdiction over the food system, it works alongside Happy Harvest to ensure successful field-level execution, farmer protection, program monitoring and integration into national agricultural frameworks. It also facilitates alignment with Vision 2030 and ensures that Happy Harvest strengthens national food security and reduces import dependency in a sustainable and scalable way.

Supporting Ministries

Supporting Ministries play a pivotal role in expanding the reach and impact of Happy Harvest through inter-sectoral collaboration. These include the Ministries of Trade, Education, Digital Transformation, Youth & Gender, Health, Planning, Finance, Energy & Environment and others, each contributing to a different arm of the ecosystem. Whether it is integrating food literacy into school curricula, facilitating agri-export, developing climate-smart infrastructure or supporting youth entrepreneurship, supporting Ministries ensure we build the scaffolding necessary for long-term scale, investment and sustainability.

Government Agencies

Government agencies act as technical and administrative enablers of the Happy Harvest rollout. Agencies such as NAMDEVCO, ExporTT (Global TT), TTIFC, CARIRI and the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) provide essential services ranging from data systems and farmer traceability to trade facilitation, research, financing and digital integration. These institutions provide operational depth to the framework, allowing Happy Harvest to move from policy to practice and from prototype to national scale. Their role is to ensure systems alignment, public-private cooperation and seamless delivery of services to farmers, cooperatives and consumers alike.

Multilateral Development Partners

Multilateral partners such as the IDB, FAO, UNDP, IFAD and the World Bank serve as strategic development allies to Happy Harvest, offering funding, global expertise, research partnerships and technical assistance. They help co-finance infrastructure, digital innovation, capacity-building and impact measurement while supporting the alignment of Happy Harvest with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These organizations are instrumental in elevating Happy Harvest to international standards, scaling the model regionally and ensuring long-term developmental success through climate-smart financing and governance frameworks that are both inclusive and resilient.

National Agencies

National institutions and research bodies, such as UWI, UTT, MIC, CARDI and iGovTT—are key contributors to education, technology innovation, certification and workforce development within the Happy Harvest framework. These agencies help build out the Harvest Academy curriculum, support agri-science innovation through Harvest Labs and ensure local knowledge is embedded into the delivery of regenerative farming, circular economy strategies and export readiness. Their involvement ensures a pipeline of trained professionals, locally driven solutions, and national ownership of the transformation taking place across the agricultural sector.

Private Sector (PPP)

The private sector plays a critical role as both investor and operator within the Happy Harvest ecosystem. Through public-private partnerships (PPPs), local businesses, supermarket chains, financial institutions, agri-tech startups, logistics firms and retailers become co-creators of infrastructure, digital tools, retail access and farmer services. Franchise and white-label opportunities through Harvest Market, Harvest Express and value-added production enable inclusive entrepreneurship and commercialization. The PPP model ensures risk-sharing, co-investment and scalability while accelerating innovation, expanding supply chains and anchoring agriculture as a viable economic pillar for the country.
