As the coronavirus (COVID-10) pandemic continues to pose a threat to food security in the region, several Caribbean nations have met to discuss methods to protect its supply.
Even as the likelihood of a threat to Caribbean food security begins to ‘make the rounds’ in the region there has still been no significant public pronouncement, collectively, from the region as a whole with regard to a likely region-wide response to such threats to food security issues as might arise out of the global pandemic.
Back in early April, regional Agriculture Ministers engaged in a special (videoconference) session of the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) to consider the likely impact that the coronavirus might have on food and nutrition security in the Region.
