There is support tonight for increased agricultural outputs and closer cooperation with our Caribbean Community (CARICOM) neighbours.
It comes from President of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) Anthony Branker.
He tells CBC News that these initiatives would certainly have an impact on the food import bill.
The BCCI head commended members of the chamber who were part of the social compact, adding that they are buoyed by the reports from tourism officials for 2023, and trading should be good.
