The Scientific Research Council, SRC, is to establish a pilot plant for the production of personal care and cosmetic products in Jamaica.
The SRC’s new Executive Director, Dr. Charah Watson, says the agency has been supporting micro, small and medium enterprises in the development and production of products and one of the areas they have seen a lot of interest in is personal care and cosmetic products.
Dr. Watson said inn response, the SRC is building out a pilot plant to offer support to entrepreneurs who may want to make cosmetic products.
Dr. Watson noted that the initiative should come on stream by the end of the first quarter of the 2021/2022 financial year, and will join the likes of its food pilot plant.
