Ruel Ward stated emphatically last Thursday night (May 6), while contributing during an online panel discussion hosted by the Barbados Coalition of Services Industries (BCSI).

BNSI standards for ‘coconut vending, tourism, green power’
Article by April 1, 2021
From coconut vending and tourism to renewable energy, a raft of Barbadian industries are to get a set of standards, the nation’s standards agency said Wednesday.
Already labelling standards for coconut vendors are about halfway ready, said Haydn Rhynd, acting director of the Barbados National Standards Institution.
He was speaking during the second Barbados Coalition of Services Industries (BCSI) Fish Bowl conversation on Wednesday, under the theme,
National Service Sector Development Strategy: Providing a Framework for Inclusive and Sustainable Development.
On renewable energy, Rhynd said: “On the backend of that, we have electric vehicles in need of charging stations so at the BNSI we are revising our national building code so that we can speak to charging stations to electric vehicle and the construction of these stations.”
