KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica has gone backwards in its development of a logistics hub, according to Opposition Spokesperson on Trade, Industry and Global Logistic, Anthony Hylton.

Hylton, who led the development of a logistics hub during the last People’s National Party administration, made the assertion in the House of Representatives on Tuesday during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate.

He noted that Jamaica has for decades functioned primarily as a trading economy rather than a productive one.
