Bananas

Total banana exports to the United Kingdom exhibited a 5.8 percent increase from 8898 tonnes

in 2017 to 9416.6 tonnes in 2018. Regional banana exports increased by 0.2 percent with a

corresponding quantity of 11.13 tonnes more being exported. Barbados continued to be the main

regional export destination accounting for 51.7 percent of regional exports.

Non-traditional Crops

The quantity of local agricultural produce purchased by supermarkets increased by 5.8 percent,

likewise the quantity purchased by hotels grew 3 percent. There was an increase in most crop

categories purchased by both supermarkets and hotels.

Fisheries

The total quantity of landed continued to decline from 1669 tonnes to 1633 tonnes, representing

a 2.2 percent decrease. The harvest sites which yielded the most fish were Vieux-Fort,

accounting for 30 percent of local fish supply, followed by Dennery at 21 percent and Micoud

and Castries each accounting for 6.8 percent of local supply. Non-sample sites collectively

accounted for a considerable proportion of the local supply at 20.8 percent. The three most

common fish species were tuna, dolphin and king fish, together accounting for 50 percent of the

local fish supply.

Livestock

There was a 10 percent increase in poultry imports- an increase of approximately 492 tonnes.

Local poultry production increased slightly by 0.5 percent. Saint Lucia imported almost three

times as much chicken as it produced, with local chicken production standing at 2187.5 tonnes

and imported chicken standing at 5368 tonnes. Egg production increased by 30.7 percent, there

were no imports of eggs. Pork imports accounted for 49 percent of meat imports, while beef

imports accounted for 37 percent.

Banana Industry

Banana exports to the United Kingdom increased by 5.8 percent in 2018 valued at EC$15.6

million. St Lucia National Fair Trade Organization (SLNFTO) recorded steady increases in

exports for the first three(3) quarters of 2018 before decreasing to 1434 tonnes in the fourth (4).

However the Tropical Quality Fruit Company (TQFC) only facilitated exports for the first and

second quarter of 2018.

Like the previous year SLNFTO handled the majority of bananas exported in 2018( 98.6

percent) followed by Tropical Quality Fruit Company (TQFC) who handled the remaining 1.4

percent of bananas exported in 2018. During the period 2014 – 2018, Saint Lucia recorded the

largest banana export figures to the UK with its highest being 9417 tonnes in 2018, with an

equivalent value of EC$15.6 million.

Despite a downward trend in previous years, there was a 6.2 percent increase in the total volume

of local agricultural produce purchased by selected marketing outlets. As such increased in value

from EC$13,066,954 million in 2017 to EC$14,259,272 million in 2018. Overall supermarkets

purchased approximately 4 times more local agricultural produce than hotels in 2018. Most crops

recorded growth in quantity purchased. The most significant increases include fruit and tree

crops which rose by 6.3 percent, purchase of vegetables increased by 11 percent, Musa species

increased by 1.7 percent, purchase of root crops rose by 15.6 percent and purchase of herbs and

spices increased by 15percent. On the other hand miscellaneous crops fell by 4.7 percent.

The quantity of local agricultural produce purchased by selected hotels increased by a small

margin of 3 percent after being on a decline for the previous two consecutive years. This increase

in purchase generated a 5.9 percent increase in revenue, equivalent to EC$6.7 million from the

hotel sector.

Fisheries Sector

There was a 2.6 percent decrease in the estimated total quantity of fish landed from 1669 tonnes

in 2017 to 1633 tonnes in 2018. This fall in tonnage may be the result of several factors,

including high levels of sargassum seaweed and shifts in participation of persons from fishing to

other activities.

The landings in Vieux- Fort, Dennery, Micoud and Castries accounted for the largest quantity of

fish landed in St- Lucia, with Castries and Micoud recording the same quantity. The quantity of

fish landed on non-sample sites also formed a sizeable proportion of the total quantity of fish

landed. While Castries and non-sample sites recorded increases in fish landings of 54.2 percent

and 10.7 percent respectively, fish landings in the major sites namely Vieux-Fort, Micoud and

Dennery declined by 6.1 percent, 11.2 percent and 9.7 percent respectively.

Notwithstanding a decrease in quantity from the previous year, Tuna, Dolphin and King fish

species were the major fish species landed in 2018. Dolphin formed 23.9 percent of the local

supply, Tuna 21.5 percent and king fish accounting for 4.7 percent of the total volumes of fish

species landed in 2018. Other fish species collectively, including snapper, lobster, conch, lionfish

and Blue/white Marlin accounted for 49.8 percent of the total quantity of fish landed.

Fish Imported

The tonnage of fish imported increased by 15.6 percent in 2018. The value of imported

fish in 2018 grew by 6.0 percent to EC$23.1 million, as in previous years this indicates an

increase in the prices of imported fish during the period under review. Further analysis indicated

62.6 percent increase in imports of frozen and chilled fish valued at EC$3.7 million. Likewise

the year 2018 saw an increase in the import of canned fish by 12.2 percent with an equivalent

value of EC$12.9 million. On the other hand there was a 10 percent decline in the import of other

types of fish, however this decline did not greatly affect the overall quantity of fish imported as

2018 still recorded a 15.6 percent increase in total imports.

Saint Lucia generated more revenue from its local fish supply than it spent on fish imports. The

value of the local fish supply for 2018 was EC$27.7 million while total fish import expenditure

The average laying stock on farms (number of hens) rose by 29.2 percent increasing from 65,000

hens in 2017 to 85,000 hens in 2018. As a result there was a 30.7 percent increase in the quantity

of locally produced eggs and a 30.7 percent increase in total revenue to EC$10.4 million. Saint

Lucia continued to be self-sufficient in egg production in 2018 which resulted in zero eggs

imports under the review period.

Food Trade Balance

For the past four consecutive years, Saint Lucia’s trade balance on food exhibited significant

deficits and 2018 was no exception. The deficit worsened by 5.5 percent to EC$335.8 million in

2018 and the level of food imports was more than ten times that of food exports. Food exports

showed a 14.5 percent decrease with a corresponding decrease in value of EC$5.3 million, this

certainly was not sufficient to close the gap between imports and exports. Food import

expenditure increased by 3.5 percent to EC$367 million in 2018. Food exports did however

comprise a more substantial proportion of total domestic exports in 2018 compared to 2017,

comprising 28 percent of domestic exports as opposed to 17 percent in 2017 valued at EC$31.2

million in 2018.

Total domestic exports decreased by 47.6 percent to EC$109.8 million in 2018. Total imports

however increased, though on a small scale. Total imports grew by 0.4 percent to EC$1.8 billion

in 2018.
