Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Senator Aubyn Hill, is encouraging Jamaican manufacturers of all sizes to utilise the government's Productive Input Relief Programme, which allows for duty-free importation of certain goods used in productive sectors.
Speaking at the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA) Manufacture 360 Conference on May 29, he emphasized that the programme supports innovation and business growth across sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, healthcare and the creative industries.
In 2023, the programme provided $78 billion in relief and $109 billion in 2021.
