Building a modern, sustainable, and climate resilient agri-food sector that contributes to economic growth is paramount for the Caribbean region and in that context the CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) is pivotal to boosting much-needed investments, two-way trade and achieving sectoral development in the sector..
This was revealed by Mr. David Mogollón, Head of Cooperation of the Delegation of the European Union to Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean States, the OECS and CARICOM/CARIFORUM at a webinar held on July 20 during which the findings of an EU-funded study on business opportunities in Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Processing in CARIFORUM were presented. It was the third webinar on sectoral trade and investment opportunities in the CARIFORUM region within the framework of the CARIFORUM-EU EPA.
