The Honourable Asot Michael with a view to bringing sustainable
investment to the agro-industries in Antigua and Barbuda met yesterday with Mr.
Luis Vicente Cavalli owner of Innovative Agro Industry (IAI) and the LR Group.
They specialize in Agriculture and Agro-Industries, Water
treatment systems, reverse osmosis plants, as well as irrigation systems
specifically for agricultural projects.
Since 1986 the company has been developing projects in Africa
specifically in Angola, Gabon, Uganda and The Congo. They integrate training
and technical development as well as secure dedicated financing for their
projects from conception to execution. One of the defining features of IAI is
the way in which they promote associations between the community and industry
partners. They create Multi-disciplinary farms that twin agricultural and
livestock activities together with Agroindustrial centers. They construct farm
buildings, storage silos, produce processing plants; and offer crop management,
dairy farm development, and poultry farm related services.
Minister Michael invited the company and their technical team to
Antigua to hold talks with the Honourable Arthur Nibbs and the Ministry of
Agriculture to analyze and appraise areas in need of investment and
technological advancement in Antigua and Barbuda. The company has also extended
an invitation to Minister Nibbs and his team to Colombia and to Israel to see
firsthand the possibilities in person.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the Government of Antigua and
Barbuda believe strongly in strengthening linkages between agriculture and
tourism and the overall development of agro-industries on the island.
