Food security: An enduring imperative for Jamaica

It is not often that a Member of Parliament making his inaugural contribution in Parliament draws much attention. Nevertheless, Lothan Cousins, Member of Parliament for Clarendon South Western and Opposition spokesperson on water and agriculture, succeeded in doing just that during his sectoral debate presentation in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, May 18.
While his was a point-scoring broadside on the presentation of Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries Floyd Green, who the previous week in his presentation, Cousins asserted, had led the country to believe that food exports were on an upward trajectory, he highlighted statistics which pointed to what in recent years we can now speak of as an “alternative truth” that food imports had been steadily increasing since 2017.
