Trinidad eyes more food trade with Guyana as new ferry service starts up
A new ferry service in the Southern Caribbean will be operational in about three months and already, Trinidad and Tobago hopes to capitalise on the venture and will be increasing its trade with Guyana. “I’m very happy to say that from an agricultural perspective, this is going to open the doors for opportunity for all of our countries in the region.
“Moreso, we are looking forward to immense trade with Guyana,” Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, Avinash Singh told the News Room on Monday. Minister Singh is part of the Trinidadian delegation in Guyana for this week’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) regional summit hosted in Georgetown.
At the sidelines of that event, the Agriculture Minister told the News Room that Trinidadian authorities, including the country’s Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, have been lobbying for a ferry service to push regional trade and the movement of people.
