Trade Minister Calls On Farmers To Produce more

The Minister with responsibility for Trade In Dominica, Hon.Ian Douglas issued a call for farmers to produce more for export.

According to Douglas, the markets and the means of transportation are there; what’s missing is the products.

He said, “At present we have a boat…which goes to Barbados and Barbados literally wants a 20 ft container of Bananas on a fortnightly basis…Right now we have boats supplying the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Montserrat, Anguilla, Martinique on a weekly basis and so it is just for farmers to produce for us. Some of the major crops we talking about are dasheen…plaintains”.
