Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Ravi Ratiram, says there is strong demand outside of Trinidad and Tobago for locally grown mangoes.

Speaking to TTT News at a training session under the National Agriculture Training Initiative at the Upper El Dorado Community Centre on Thursday, he revealed plans to boost mango, coconut, and avocado production as part of a wider push to expand agricultural exports.

“I recently would have visited Argentina, and we have fifty million persons there in Argentina, and they expressed a high level of interest. The persons who I met had a high level of interest in importing mangoes from Trinidad to Argentina. So, we are looking at boosting mango production because there is a huge export opportunity that exists.”
