RUBIS Caribbean proudly honored the dedication, resilience, and vital contributions of St. Lucia’s fishermen and coastal communities by sponsoring the 2025 Fisherman’s Feast, or Fete Peche, observed annually on the last Sunday in June.
In support of this year’s celebration, RUBIS Caribbean presented EC$3,100 to five fisheries in St Lucia. The contribution included cash prizes and five cases of Total Lubricants Neptuna 2T, an essential product widely used by the fishing community.
Tamika Celestin, Assistant Accounts Executive, said RUBIS recognised that fishermen continue to play a critical role in ensuring food security, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting livelihoods across generations. As the backbone of many coastal communities, fishermen ensure food security, preserve cultural heritage, and support livelihoods across generations.
“At RUBIS, we believe in empowering the communities we serve. Our support goes beyond fuel, and we are proud to stand with the people who uphold St. Lucia’s traditions and contribute to its future.”
She added that RUBIS remains committed to standing with the people of St. Lucia to preserve the prosperity of its fishing communities and the blue economy that sustains them.
“RUBIS was honoured to support the festivities and hopes that our contribution helped enhance community events and initiatives and uplift St. Lucia’s fishing sector.”
Rock Jean of the Castries Fishermen Co-operative Society thanked RUBIS for their support, stating, “It is a privilege to accept this contribution on behalf of the fisheries where Rubis supplies the fueling needs of our fishermen. We appreciate the company’s support for this year’s Fishermen’s Feast celebration, and we know the fishermen will be grateful and will make excellent use of this contribution.”
Fishermen’s Feast holds great significance for the fishing sector and the blue economy. Fisherfolk play a crucial role in unlocking the economic potential of our marine and coastal resources. Moreover, the fisheries sector is an integral part of our fuel business, and we are proud to support the fishermen during this special celebration. We trust that our contribution will help strengthen community events and initiatives and continue to uplift this vital industry.
