KINGSTON, Jamaica The Agro-processing learning lab at the Knockalva Polytechnic College in Ramble, Hanover, was officially opened yesterday.
The lab will help prepare students for agro-processing and the wider world of agribusiness, while providing greater access to tertiary education for people in western Jamaica.

“This is to move from just being primary producers to agro-processors to enhancing our value chain development, to ensure that we are taking Jamaica to the world, not just by way of our fresh produce but by some of the best agro processed items you can find,” he added.
