Now this is what I call a "stimulus" package....  Quote: He explained that there is currently a rebate available to farmers of 40 per cent of the construction of greenhouses up to a maximum of $30 000. He added that it is also proposed that a rebate of 40 per cent of the cost of the components of approved aquaculture and aquaponics systems, up a maximum of $50 000, be introduced. http://www.barbadosadvocate.com/newsite ... ewsID=6903 |

Yeah its pretty neat what our little island has done to push aquaponics. In Barbados you first have to register as a small farmer witch takes about 2 hours and its free. Then you take the receipts and apply for the rebate, they send someone to check that it is a working system and then you get a check mailed to you the whole process takes about 5 weeks. The limit is Barbados$30,000(us$2=Barbados$1) or 1/3 of the project, witch ever is more. A side note: all new residences have to be built with rain water storage by law and aquaponic systems are accepted as rain water collection systems |
