Dig a large hole in the ground and fill it with water, then throw fish in it...
By Taran

The idea related to aquaculture is simple enough. Dig a large hole in the ground and fill it with water, then throw fish in it. This, of course, sounds a bit too simple

The issue of fences and assuring that there were no caimans running amok with the fish became a focus. Following that, some recommendations related to the size of the pond
needed and how much it would cost to stock the pond. This has a lot of potential, and since the soil on my land is made up of a lot of clay, it makes sense that this would be a possibility to explore.

Basically one year of feeding fish could allow them to return the favor afterward - not too bad of a deal. And I most certainly would not starve with a pond filled with fish nearby....

This in my head, I went over to the National Agriculture and Marketing Development Corporation (NAMDEVCO) and ran into Prakash Ragbir, who I taught with at The University of the West Indies School of Continuing Studies.

After catching up a bit, I told him what I was thinking of doing and he quickly put
together a package for me of information they had laying around, including estimates for
the costs of planting and maintaining crops as well as their profit margins.
NAMDEVCO also exports produce, for a relatively small fee.

NAMDEVCO also runs the NAMISTT.com website that gives information on crop prices at
different markets. The items Prakash suggested I look most into were pumpkins and
hot peppers; I mentioned tilapia but he let that sit there without saying much -
a search of the sites doesn't show anything in the way of tilapia.
