FISHERIES COMMITTEE

Since 2014, the CEM has carried out the missions of a Chamber of Agriculture and is fully integrated into the national network of chambers. It has thus become a trusted partner for the island’s farmers, supporting them at every stage of their journey, from starting their activity to structuring collective projects. It provides both human and technical support, defends the interests of local producers, and works to ensure recognition of their status and their contribution to the territory.

The Territorial Plan for Sustainable Agriculture of Saint Barthélemy – A strong commitment to sustainable agriculture

The CEM played a central role in developing the Territorial Plan for Sustainable Agriculture (PTAD) of Saint Barthélemy, in accordance with the provisions of the Rural and Maritime Fisheries Code.

The PTAD is a key and structuring tool for the future of agriculture on the island. Its objectives are to:

• Define a shared vision for agricultural development in Saint Barthélemy;
• Establish a concrete, structured, and collaborative framework for action among stakeholders;
• Encourage sustainable, resilient agricultural economic development that is adapted to the specific characteristics of the territory.

As a member of the Territorial Commission for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Aquaculture, the PTAD steering committee, the CEM will oversee the implementation and coordination of the plan.

The association for the farmers of Saint Barth

In October 2022, with the support of the CEM, the Association for the Farmers of Saint Barthélemy (APAG) was created. This association aims to unite producers, defend their rights, and promote local agriculture.

Principium autem unde latius se funditabat, emersit ex negotio tali. Chilo ex vicario et coniux eius Maxima nomine, questi apud Olybrium ea tempestate urbi praefectum, vitamque suam venenis petitam adseverantes inpetrarunt ut hi, quos suspectati sunt, ilico rapti conpingerentur in vincula, organarius Sericus et Asbolius palaestrita et aruspex Campensis.

Sed quid est quod in hac causa maxime homines admirentur et reprehendant meum consilium, cum ego idem antea multa decreverim, que magis ad hominis dignitatem quam ad rei publicae necessitatem pertinerent?
