The Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) is calling on local farmers to bolster the nation’s agro-processing sector by increasing the supply of hot peppers to manufacturers.
This appeal follows the successful training of 72 hot pepper farmers from the parishes of St Ann, St Mary, St Catherine, Clarendon, and St Elizabeth under the ‘Improving Phytosanitary, Food Safety, and Market Access Opportunities along the Hot Pepper Value Chain in Jamaica’ project.
Manager of the Marketing Services Unit at the JBDC, Janine Fletcher-Taylor, emphasised the importance of hot pepper production in Jamaica’s agro-processing industry.
