The Caribbean region will soon have access to a US$250,000 special fund to assist in the goal of reducing its food imports by 2025.
The creation of the fund was announced by Director General of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture Manuel Otero.
The special fund will be geared at promoting initiatives and actions aimed at assisting countries in the region in meeting the goal of reducing their multi-million dollar food import bill by 25% by 2025.
Mr. Otero says this decision will enable IICA to facilitate greater integration among Caribbean countries through hemispheric partnerships and South-South and triangular cooperation projects that promote food and nutritional security.
He adds that the agency is also deepening its commitment to improving the quality of life of people in the Caribbean.
