Back on track
The island of Dominica in the Caribbean is constructing a new irrigation infrastructure for its banana sector. The t 16 million programme, like other EU-backed initiatives on the banana-producing Windward Islands, aims to reduce the impact of drought and to raise production. The Dominica Banana Marketing Corporation is also administering a t 800,000 credit programme for farmers to buy inputs. The sector has suffered much from consecutive droughts and hurricane Lenny in 1999.
