The National Compliance and Regulatory Authority (NCRA) says it has a key role to play in enhancing growth in manufacturing by speeding up the process of inspection and monitoring of entities.
The regulatory division of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica was separated from that agency and transformed into the NCRA, which officially began operations in 2017.
The NRCA is responsible for registering processed food establishments, inspecting goods at ports of entry, and monitoring compliance in the local market.
Lorice Edwards Brown, Chief Executive Officer of the NCRA, told the JIS that the separation was in keeping with Jamaica's international obligations and was also based on feedback from local manufacturers.
