“Agriculture finance must move much higher up our development agenda.”
That was the reminder from the President of the Trinidad and Tobago–India Business Federation, Dr. Vaalmikki Arjoon, who renewed calls for greater capital to be directed toward local farmers, arguing that stronger financing for agricultural production would not only boost food security but also increase the nation’s foreign exchange earnings.
