The regions of Guadeloupe, Mayotte and Réunion define, in liaison with the public authorities and professional organisations, their guidelines for the development of agriculture and forestry, in particular when the plan is drawn up.
To this end, the chambers of agriculture, the land development and rural establishment companies, the national forestry office and all other public or private legal entities invested by law or regulation with a mission of agricultural, forestry, rural or land development, inform the regional councils of their programmes and send them their annual activity reports.
