In a bid to improve food security among the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states, nine poultry processing plants in the Region have been approved to trade among Member States.
This announcement was made by the CARICOM Secretariat yesterday via a press release that stated the approval among the Member States came at the 71st Special Meeting of the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) on Agriculture last Friday.
As such, poultry plants from Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago were given the go ahead to sell poultry products intraregionally after they were evaluated by the Regional Risk Assessments Teams and have met the sanitary requirements to enter the CARICOM Market.
