The consequences of current institutional and professional staff fragmentation in the Eastern Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, St. Christopher-Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat, Tortola, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines) are discussed. A model is proposed, based on the Scottish Agricultural College System in which technical training, research and extension are integrated into an autonomous institution which offers a 2-year Diploma programme. Professional staff would be re-deployed from existing agricultural institutions (Ministries of Agriculture, CARDI, WINBAN, UWI, etc.). Management, implementation, financial consideration and benefits of the strategy are discussed
