T&T pursuing more external investments in agriculture, agro-processing

Trinidad and Tobago has reportedly signalled its openness for investments in agriculture and agro-processing, manufacturing, tourism, maritime activities, financial services and logistics and distribution. This move appears to mark a renewed sense of urgency in the region linked largely to efforts to strike a more assertive posture in the matter of boosting agricultural, agro-pro-cessing and manufacturing pursuits for regional and international markets.

According to a report, T&T’s most recent lobby for investments in key sectors of its economy was announced by its Minister of Trade and Industry Paula Gopie-Scoon during the course of a webinar hosted by the World Trade Centre, Mumbai and the High Commis-sion of India in Port of Spain on Friday, August 6, 2021.
