C - Growing Onions - GROW Jamaica
Onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivation in Jamaica dates back to more than 50 years ago (ADC, 1963). It is a culinary ‘must use’ for Jamaican diets and more than 10 million kg is consumed annually.
Over the last 18 years, onion production has declined significantly from 4,200 tonnes in 1996 to 680 tonnes in 2013 (AMID, MOAF). Productivity over the same period averaged 12t/ha, which is considerably less than the 35-40t/ha reported in the USA and elsewhere (Chandler, 1994, Lorenz and Maynard, 1988). It is also important to note that between 2007-2012, average annual import of onions into Jamaica was 8.8 million kg, at a value of US$3.7m.

A Guide to Starting a Commercial Goat Dairy – Carol Delaney - 20 Januari 2012
This guide is meant to provide basic information to those interested in looking at starting a dairy goat farm as a business. Other books cover the detailed management of dairy goats while this guide seeks to touch on those topics that strongly influence management choices. One exception might be milking systems and equipment but we leave readers in the good hands of the Dairy Practices Council for specific guides published on these topics and referenced in the chapters.
We hope this guide will help the reader make a realistic plan for the investment of finances in land, buildings and livestock — and decide for or against that investment. We have faith that those who are serious will take the time to write a mission statement, set goals, and create record keeping systems to measure their progress. Then, they will be empowered to use all this data to inform their future decisions. With whole farm, family and land goals to refer to, managers can adjust their operation to correct problems and make informed changes to fulfill their goal.
