Farming can help the economy by providing jobs. Some farms are labor intensive and they are in need of plenty of manual laborers and you don't have to be a professional or have to have a degree to qualify for this job. Farming provides raw materials that can be exported which would generate income. When we send these items to other people, we receive money. Farming would also help our economy by us having fewer things to import because when we import we have to pay money of freight, gas, shipping etc. By us having fewer things to import we can save lots of money. Another contribution farming can make to our economy is by us not having to depend on tourism heavily anymore because we have farming.

∙ 11y agoThere are two ways on how farming is done in the Bahamas. Since there is as little as 1% of the Bahamas land area can be cultivated, farmers have limitations in farming. Farming can be done mainly through the household industry, where locals have some small plots where they plant crops such as tomatoes, Okra, and onions. The government also assigned a 182,000 hectares of land used for farming purposes only, where 8000 hectares of this reserved land were used for fruit farming. Hence, Bahamas have both commercial farming and household farming.
