AbstractIncentives are one of many tools that governments can use to promote investment. Incentives may encourage the establishment or growth of a sector and lead to jobs and revenue growth. Incentives may also have social and environmental sustainability impacts. This paper explores ideas for government incentives that can encourage responsible investment in the avocado and pineapple industry. It is particularly relevant to governmental actors and policy makers, as well as to civil society, advocacy groups and others who seek to improve investments. The ideas presented here aim to stimulate discussion and provide inspiration. They should not be seen as prescriptive recommendations, but rather a starting point for considering how incentives may support the goal of promoting sustainable investment in the global avocado and pineapple industries.
