Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Agro-Investment Corporation (AIC), the agency in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries tasked with the responsibility for agricultural investment promotion and facilitation.
The partnership will seek to foster a framework to boost market linkages, specifically aimed at securing access to a consistent supply of raw agricultural produce for the JMEA membership within subsectors that rely heavily on that input. Furthermore, the collaboration will allow for AIC clients to benefit from opportunities that will help to boost and promote their agricultural production and increase market access in terms of agricultural exports.
