Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member country Suriname, would appear to be moving to use the ‘leverage’ deriving from its recent oil recovery breakthrough to extend its interest in other region-building pursuits, this time, eyeing involvement in one of the Caribbean’s primary preoccupations, food security.
A story published in the Wednesday September 11 issue of the Trinidad Guardian discloses that Guyana’s Dutch-speaking neighbour is moving to capitalize on such opportunities as exist to export agricultural and other products to the region. The move, if it materializes, could integrate Suriname into the broader pursuit by CARICOM countries of the long sought-after shoring up of the region’s food security credentials.
