Government transitioning sugar industry in Barbados
Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Indar Weir
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Indar Weir says Government is moving to transition the sugar industry from a bulk sugar production industry to a value chain one, with associated benefits for the Barbados Agricultural Management Company (BAMC) Ltd and the public, as a whole.
As he expressed gratitude to China for the donation of a sugarcane harvester to the BAMC, Weir said the sugar industry had for many years been operating at a substantial loss to the government and noted that government subsidies had continued to increase, while authorities tried to grapple with changes necessary to transform the industry.
