Jamaica's sole rolled oats manufacturer is sounding the alarm that local production of the commodity is being choked by unregulated imports, which could threaten the future viability of the Foska brand.
Christopher Ramson, Managing Director of Caribbean Foods has reported that the company's sales of the product have declined by as much as 30 per cent because of the unregulated importation and distribution of bulk oats in plastic bags.
He cautioned as well that the sale of the unlabelled oats could pose a health and safety standard problem.
