A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise (MAFSE), Belize Marketing and Development Corporation (BMDC), and the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) in enhancing the agricultural sector and economic development in Belize.

The MoU signifies a collaborative effort among these key governmental agencies to achieve several important objectives: The MoU aims to facilitate the upgrade of Agrilinks, which is currently in use as a marketing tool. This upgrade will enhance its functionality, efficiency, and effectiveness in promoting agricultural products. The agreement seeks to increase the visibility of Agrilinks. This will make the platform more accessible and known to relevant stakeholders, including farmers, buyers, and consumers.

The collaboration between MAFSE, MED, and BMDC demonstrates inter-ministerial cooperation and coordination in achieving common goals related to agriculture and economic development. Enhancing the agricultural sector through better marketing tools and strategies can contribute to economic development in Belize by increasing agricultural production, revenue, and employment opportunities.

The signing of this MoU represents a positive step toward enhancing the agricultural sector in Belize, with the potential to bring about economic development, better marketing strategies, and improved opportunities for farmers and stakeholders in the agricultural value chain.
