CORAL SPRING, Trelawny — Agriculture Minister Floyd Green is calling for a regional structure to facilitate the movement of agricultural workers across the Caribbean, pointing to Dominica as a model for easing constraints on farmers and boosting production.
“I think we need a framework, a framework that works for the movement of agricultural workers across the region,” he said.
He noted that Dominica has already established a framework for agricultural migrant workers which has enabled the country to bring in about 200 workers, benefiting roughly 80 farmers and contributing to a significant increase in productivity.
