Commercial and Subsistence Farming
Commercial and Subsistence farming
In The Bahamas there are two types of farming,they are subsistence farming and commercial farming.In subsistence farming the farmer produces only enough crops or livestock to feed his or her family.In commercial farming the primary purpose is to sell one's products at a market.
Subsistence Farming is done in the southern islands, such as: Long Island, Crooked Island, and Mayaguana. Commercial Farming is done in the Northern islands, such as: Abaco, Eleuthera, and Andros.

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.
Farming in the Bahamas is difficult because of the tropical conditions. The soil is a cause of poor transportation.
Not that much.I think tourism helping Bahamas.
Commercial farming in The Bahamas primarily takes place on the islands of Abaco, Andros, and Eleuthera. These islands have suitable soil conditions and infrastructure to support larger-scale agriculture operations. Other islands may also have smaller-scale farming activities.
