The programme involves certain objectives, including the establishment of Fruit Orchards and continuous improvement of crop-related products which aim at improved crop production. Also, it aims at increasing the availability of nutritious and safe food for consumption.

Moreover, this will also lead towards protecting livelihoods and food security by preventing the introduction and spread of new pests of plants into St Kitts. It will promote sustainable land use and biodiversity conservation.

The program included all the plans that could outline better results for crop division. This not only involved the target but also various units like propagation, experimental, extension, land management, agro-processing and marketing were covered.
