Fish imports can be supplied by region

Trinidadians are eating tilapia imported from China that can be supplied by any one aquaculture operator in Guyana, Agriculture Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy said at a fisheries consultation on Monday, while emphasising that the Caribbean has both the capacity and infrastructure to meet its food needs and cut down the exorbitant food import bill.

Ramsammy was at the time speaking at the start of a four-day consultation on the Implementation and Mainstreaming of Regional Fisheries Policies into Small-Scale Fisheries Governance Arrangements,
