Antigua and Barbuda has secured several contracts to export agricultural products into the United States and China. According to Agriculture Minister E.P. Chet Greene, the country has secured the rights to export mangoes and avocadoes into the US through the efforts of farmer Michael Francis.
Greene: “This did not happen under any previous administration, but we are now in a position to make that announcement.”
Greene said there is still much preparatory work to be done to make access to the EU market a reality, but he has advised his senior staff that it is a matter of priority that must occupy their attention.
