With the completion in 1956 of the Transinsular Road that links Marigot with the west coast via Pont Casse—the campaign for which was led by British Parliamentarian Elma Napier, who had settled in Calibishie—Calibishie's farmers could transport their products more easily to sell in Roseau.

Even with the growth of tourism, commercial businesses, and civil service jobs in recent decades, farming continues to play an important role in the local economy of Calibishie.

While bananas are still the most commonly seen crop grown on the ridges above the village, Calibishie farmers market a wide range of local crops, which, in addition to bananas, include fruits such as plantains, pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, papaya; ground provisions such as cassava, dasheen, potato, yam; vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, carrots, parsley, celery, pumpkin, breadfruit, and tomatoes.
