Launch of ‘Farmer Registration Portal’ to Allow for Ease of Registration and Access to Ministry’s Grants and Incentives

August 23, 2024:-  Chaguanas, Trinidad and Tobago – The Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries officially launched the Farmer Registration Portal during the recently concluded TT Agri-Expo 2024, at the Queen’s Park Savannah.

The Farmer Registration Portal is a significant step in the digitalization of the Farmers’ Registration Programme (FRP). The FRP, developed by MALF, aims to register farmers and fulfill the requirements of the Praedial Larceny Act, which allows farmers to transport their produce to market. While farmers have previously been able to access various grants and incentives offered by the Ministry, this new online platform modernizes the registration process and enhances its efficiency. It will also create a comprehensive and up-to-date database for the Ministry.

First to receive his new symbolic Farmer’s Badge was Dr. the Honourable Keith Rowley, Prime Minister, as he visited the Ministry’s booth to access the new Portal and complete the sign up process.

During the soft launch of the portal on August 5, Senator the Honourable Kazim Hosein, Minister of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, highlighted “This is a significant moment for the Ministry and by extension the Government. We are putting farmers first and ensuring that the services required are easily accessible.”
The Ministry is encouraging individuals and organizations who meet the criteria to access the Portal and complete the first step of registration by visiting www.agriapps.gov.tt or the Ministry’s website www.agriculture.gov.tt.
