Chairman of the OECS Council of Ministers for Agriculture Roland Royer advocates for collective marketing efforts among OECS nations to meet significant agricultural product demand for key commodities

Chairman of the OECS Council of Ministers for Agriculture, Roland Royer, highlights the importance of collective marketing efforts among OECS nations. He mentions the past success of initiatives like Wind Fresh and DECO and notes that the demand for agricultural products from the OECS is substantial. However, individual islands lack the capacity to meet the export demands of countries like the US and the UK. Royer advocates for a collective approach to addressing these markets, which would benefit all OECS nations.

Royer emphasizes the need for enhanced collaboration and communication among existing marketing bodies within each OECS island state. He calls for greater coordination and collaboration within these marketing bodies to ensure they tap into untapped market potential. Minister Royer stresses the importance of addressing the challenge of meeting market demands, particularly in key commodities, as a collective effort.
