President Irfaan Ali says that there is a “real possibility” that CARICOM will achieve its ambitious goal of reducing the region’s food importation bill by 25 percent by 2025.
He was speaking at Wednesday’s press conference in Trinidad and Tobago to mark the end of the CARICOM Heads of Government Meeting which coincided with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the regional integration movement.
In response to a question from Stabroek News, Ali said that “Based on our original targets we are doing well and I believe we now have the real possibility of meeting those targets.”
Ali is the Lead Head of Government with responsibility for agriculture in the CARICOM Quasi Cabinet.
