Small ruminant production is a very significant component of livestock production throughout the world, especially within developing countries.

In Jamaica, the small ruminant production market as shown where there are room for improvement within the goat industry. The study took place within five (5) different parishes in Jamaica. Data was collected from the parishes of; St Catherine, Portland, St. Mary, St Elizabeth and Hanover.
Where a questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data as well as interviews was done both virtually and face to face to retrieve qualitative
data causing a mixed research methodology to be utilized. The research action plan is to reduce food poverty and in the small ruminant sector in
Jamaica with the influence of a newly developed dual purposed breed goat to combat challenges faced. In concluding, this study will explore and
