By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On January 24, 2025, farmers from San Carlos visited Silk Grass Farms to see the processing of carrot juice using a high-pressure processing machine.

The Belize Marketing & Development Corporation (BMDC) is partnering in this initiative to help address the surplus of locally grown carrots.

The trial, led by the Ministry of Agriculture, is transforming excess carrots into all-natural carrot juice.

Produced at Silk Grass Farms, the juice is refrigerated, and has a shelf life of 120 days, which will soon be available in half-gallon and gallon bottles.

This effort not only reduces food waste but also provides a nutritious, Belizean-made product.

“By supporting local farmers and promoting value-added processing, the Ministry and BMDC are working together to strengthen the agricultural sector, ensuring a healthier and more sustainable future for Belize,” the Ministry noted.
