What are the influencing factors on agriculture in the Caribbean?

[tractorspk]

Several factors influence agriculture in the Caribbean region, including climate variability, soil quality, access to water resources, land tenure systems, agricultural policies, market dynamics, and the prevalence of natural disasters such as hurricanes and droughts. Additionally, globalization, trade agreements, and tourism can impact agricultural practices and land use patterns. The small size of many Caribbean islands and limited arable land also present challenges for agricultural production and sustainability. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for innovation, diversification, and sustainable agricultural practices to enhance food security, promote rural development, and mitigate the impacts of external factors on agriculture in the Caribbean.
