During an official visit to Anguilla from November 14 to 16, 2025, Deputy Premier of Nevis and Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable Eric Evelyn, actively promoted two of Nevis’ flagship events: Agri-Expo 2026 and Culturama 52. The visit was part of his participation in Hook and Harvest, a prominent farm-to-table and wellness initiative. Agri-Expo 2026, celebrating its 30th anniversary, is scheduled for March 26–27, 2026, while Culturama 52 will take place from July 23 to August 4, 2026. Evelyn extended invitations to Anguillans and regional residents during a live radio interview on Klass FM, emphasizing the cultural and agricultural significance of these events. Throughout his three-day engagement, Evelyn attended a wellness seminar, joined a diabetes awareness walk, and participated in a 10-course tasting experience at the National Green Space, which highlighted local farmers and chefs. A key highlight of the visit was the donation of 130 fruit plants by the Nevis Ministry of Agriculture, aimed at supporting Caribbean sustainability initiatives. Evelyn underscored Nevis’ commitment to food security and agricultural expansion, stating, ‘We are focused heavily on food security and planting more to increase local food production.’ The donated saplings included sugar apple, cherry, Taiwanese sugar apple, soursop, custard apple, and passion fruit. Evelyn also expressed gratitude to Dr. Carissa Webster-Lake, the event organizer, for fostering a meaningful partnership. Additionally, he paid courtesy calls to Anguilla’s Premier Honourable Cora Richardson Hodge, Minister Honourable Kyle Hodge, and Parliamentary Secretary Honourable Cordell Richardson.
