To leave the EU or to remain
Montserrat is watching with keen interest as UK voters decide on Thursday whether or not to stay in the European Union.
On Wednesday politicians were making their last pitch for votes on the final day of campaigning before the referendum.
David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn told rallies that a Remain vote in Thursday’s poll will mean the UK is safer and better off.

Women in Agriculture
More women are needed in the field of Agriculture in Montserrat
This is the conclusion of a report by the Caribbean Development Bank; the Montserrat Country Gender Assessment.
The report states that the agricultural industry constitutes a substantial percentage of Montserrat’s economic activity.
However, although it is identified as one of the national areas of focus for economic growth, the industry is heavily male-dominated with less than 20% female participation.
