Promote growth in the agro sector

THE IRONY of the Ministry of Agriculture using foreign food products to feed the nation’s children while it pushes a “grow what we eat, eat what we grow” campaign is not lost on CEO of Jamaica Broiler’s Christopher Levy.

He is calling for this “oxymoronic” relationship be dissolved as quickly as possible to promote the growth in the agricultural sector.

“In the United States, the school-feeding programme is the backbone of the dairy industry and the broader agricultural sector,” said Levy.
