Trade expert Dr. Andre Gordon says Jamaica's trade data for 2024 is signaling to the government that it needs to focus more on production and exports, particularly agricultural exports and the production of renewable energy.
In that vein, Dr Gordon, Managing Director of Technological Solutions, is urging the government to decide what it will do with the PetroJam Refinery.
That advice comes in light of the fact that the refining and re-exporting of petroleum products dropped by US$370 million last year.
