Agro-Investment Corporation is proud to be at the forefront of a historic moment in Jamaican agriculture with the official launch of the Parnassus Agro Park in Clarendon — a transformative initiative under the Southern Plains Agricultural Development Project (SPAD).

Unveiled on April 23, 2025, the Parnassus Agro Park represents more than just the repurposing of former sugarcane lands — it’s a bold leap toward building a climate-resilient, inclusive, and investor-ready agricultural future.

A National Vision, An Agro-Invest Mission

In his keynote address, Prime Minister Dr. The Most Hon. Andrew Holness declared,

“We are planting the seeds of resilience and opportunity… This agro park represents a future where Jamaican farmers are empowered, communities are revitalized, and our country moves closer to a competitive and climate resilient agriculture sector.”

At Agro-Invest, our mandate aligns squarely with this national vision. As Jamaica’s premier agribusiness facilitation agency, we are focused on mobilizing investment, providing land access, and offering robust technical and market support to drive sustainable agriculture.

Why Parnassus Matters

With over 700 acres of formerly sugarcane land now being transitioned to diversified agriculture, Parnassus Agro Park is primed to deliver on multiple fronts:

  • More than 400 acres allocated to small farmers, with a strong emphasis on women, youth, and persons with disabilities

  • Strategic irrigation development: helping push Jamaica’s irrigated farmland from 15% to 20% — a game-changer for productivity

  • Support from the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Fund and the Caribbean Development Bank, totaling an investment of £17.13 million across two locations: Parnassus (Clarendon) and Amity Hall (St. Catherine)

Through the Parnassus Agro Park, Agro-Invest is actively:

  • Leasing flat, irrigated lands (5–500 acres) to both smallholders and commercial investors

  • Facilitating investor support services, including:

    • Business planning

    • Land matching

    • Market linkage

    • On-farm technical assistance

We are proud to help bridge the gap between opportunity and action — ensuring all applicants, from startups to established agribusinesses, have the tools to succeed.

With climate resilience and national food security at the center of Jamaica’s agricultural policy, Agro-Invest invites local and international investors to be part of this legacy-defining opportunity.
