Bahamas gov’t looking to cut egg imports

NASSAU, Bahamas (CMC) — The Bahamas Government is stepping up efforts to boost local egg production as part of a wider push to reduce the country’s reliance on imports and strengthen food security.

Prime Minister Philip Davis recently visited the Golden Yolk Project, an initiative aimed at expanding domestic production and increasing the supply of locally produced eggs to households and businesses across The Bahamas.

“Our Government is committed to producing more of what we eat here at home. Two hundred thousand eggs produced, 10,000 laying hens in production and another 8,000 pullets being raised show the capacity we are building.
