Former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley says the ongoing cargo seabridge disruption in Tobago has created a “real crisis” for producers in the sister island, disclosing yesterday that his livestock operations have been affected as he has not been able to get feed for his chickens and sheep.

In a social media post yesterday, Rowley said the situation was more than political commentary for him.

He said he had “pens full of thousands of live animals (chickens, pigs and sheep)” and could not secure feed because there is no feed mill in Tobago and the reduced frequency and lack of a fixed sailing schedule have disrupted his weekly trucking arrangements.
