Membership Benefits

There are additional benefits, which a dairy and beef farmer can enjoy as a result of membership of the Association.  The current fee for membership is nominal at best being only $40.00 per year. In addition the farmers have exposure to a range of educational and developmental seminars and workshops that the Association conducts in collaboration with the Barbados Agricultural Society.  Moreover, members get to voice their concerns as an integrated group, as opposed to presenting individualistic concerns that may appear to be less important due to the number of people affected. Consequently, the ability of the industry to lobby politicians and other interests to provide greater opportunities for the industry is greatly enhanced.

The Association also negotiates on behalf of its members to obtain better prices for the products produced by the members. In addition, it is engaged in promotional efforts to increase the consumption of the products of the members through the encouragement of appropriate marketing programs.
