Abstract: Many models for funding agricultural research, development and technology dissemination have been tried As demands on government finances increase, questions are being asked about all governmental expenditure. Some of the current structures in the Eastern Caribbean are reviewed. The use of levies on imports and exports of agricultural/horticultural products is discussed. The potential benefits of a competitive grant-funded scheme are considered. This paper is designed to promote discussion.
