Honourable Crenston Buffonge Addresses Food Prices
As the cost of living crisis persists throughout he sub-region, the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is seeking to address the price for food.
This issue occupied the minds of Ministers of Agriculture at their Council meeting in Montserrat last week.
Minister for Agriculture here, Honourable Crenston Buffonge, says it is difficult for Montserrat and the other OECS states to compete with more developed countries.
He says the government’s approach therefore is to provide subsidies to local farmers.
