The Caribbean has the potential to improve its agricultural sector by exploring some of its dormant or overlooked natural resources.
This revelation was made at an European Union (EU) Agriculture Fisheries and Food Processing Regional Webinar held on Thursday.
During the webinar, the discussion explored the possibility of increasing the European Union’s import share from CARIFORUM nations, comprising the 15 member states of Caricom and the Dominican Republic (DR).
Tamira La Cruz, EU international economic development specialist explained there were several ways for the CARIFORUM to further expand its agricultural output, not only to address local food security but also to create trade opportunities with European Union.
She listed six potential opportunities for CARIFORUM concerning trade during her presentation in the webinar.
