QUEENS COUNTY, NY: One thousand backyard poultry farmers across Jamaica are set to benefit from Chicken RE-COOP, a hurricane recovery programme, which was set for launching on March 1, 2026. The initiative comes in response to Hurricane Melissa, which left hundreds of families, particularly single-parent–led households in St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, St. James, Trelawny, Hanover, Manchester, and St. Ann, without coops, livestock, or their primary source of food and income.

Frustration laced his voice as Andre Dyer, one of Jamaica’s largest onion farmers, bemoaned how the importation of onions is threatening the livelihood of local farmers, even as the traditional Breadbasket Parish of St Elizabeth fights its way back after Hurricane Melissa.

Four months after Hurricane Melissa sent floodwaters surging through sections of Phase 2 of The Estuary in Friendship, St James, several homeowners say they remain burdened with loss, displacement, and uncertainty as they await word on whether they will be allowed to return home. Residents contend that the flooding was exacerbated when a section of roadway collapsed, obstructing a primary drainage channel. Homes were left waterlogged, furniture destroyed, and mould spreading throughout interiors. Several families were forced out and left traumatised.
