On October 31, 2025, Grenada took a significant step toward modernizing its national food control systems with the facilitation of a Common Vision Session on the Food Safety Performance, Vision, and Strategy (PVS) Tool. The event, organized by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) Grenada, brought together a diverse array of public and private sector stakeholders. Held at the Public Workers Union Building, the session was a collaborative effort involving the Caribbean Agriculture Health and Food Safety Agency (CAHFSA) and the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), supported by the EU Food Security SPS Measures Project. This initiative aligns with the broader regional goal of creating safer, more resilient, and trade-ready food systems. Participants included representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Grenada Bureau of Standards, Environmental Health Department, Department of Fisheries, and various agro-processing and food safety entities. Gregory Delsol, IICA’s National Specialist in Grenada, emphasized the importance of bolstering domestic food production while maintaining robust food safety systems, particularly in light of the Caricom “25 by 2025 Plus 5” initiative. Dr. Janel Yard-Blackman of CAHFSA highlighted the PVS Tool’s role in fostering transparency, shared responsibility, and continuous improvement in food safety and trade integrity. Keegan Slinger of CRFM underscored the need for capacity building along the seafood value chain to meet international standards. Permanent Secretary Isaac Bhagwan reiterated that food safety is a collective responsibility, requiring collaboration across all sectors. Liana Worrell, Project Officer for the EU Food Security Programme, detailed the €19 million initiative’s focus on addressing vulnerabilities to global shocks like climate change and supply chain disruptions. The PVS Tool, developed by IICA and the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO), serves as a critical instrument for evaluating institutional and operational capacities within food safety systems, enabling Grenada to progress toward its national and regional food security and economic development goals.
