National Independence Day Message
Dear Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda,
As we proudly celebrate our nation’s independence, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Land and Blue Economy extends heartfelt congratulations to all Antiguans and Barbudans, both at home and abroad. This day stands as a powerful reminder of our journey towards self-determination, unity, and resilience—values that define us as a nation and inspire us to cultivate a brighter future.
Our heritage is rooted deeply in the rich soil of this land, and agriculture remains a pillar of our nation’s growth and development. It sustains our communities, strengthens our economy, and safeguards our food security. Together, we continue to make strides in sustainable practices, ensuring that future generations inherit a prosperous and resilient agricultural sector. We honor the farmers, fishers, and all who contribute to the life-giving work that sustains our islands.
On this day, let us recommit ourselves to building a more vibrant and self-sufficient Antigua and Barbuda. As we move forward, the Ministry of Agriculture pledges to work hand-in-hand with our citizens to foster innovation, strengthen our resilience against climate challenges, and secure the agricultural prosperity of our nation.
Happy Independence Day, Antigua and Barbuda! May we continue to grow together, honoring our roots and striving towards an even more flourishing future bearing in mind Community Collaboration to Regional and Global Gains.
With pride and solidarity,
