President Irfaan Ali says that Brazilian investors from the neighbouring State of Roraima are interested in becoming part of CARICOM’s vision of reducing its food import bill by 25% by 2025.
The Head of State made this announcement during a joint press conference with Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Keith Rowley, at State House yesterday.
As part of this integration, the President said, CARICOM has committed to ensuring that the State of Roraima is represented on the Region’s Agriculture Ministerial Task Force. Ali led a delegation of the visiting CARICOM Heads and other Caribbean Government Officials to the Santa Fe farm in the North Rupununi where they participated in a Caribbean-Roraima Investors Luncheon with a number of Brazilian investors.
