With shipments of eggs on the way to Barbados, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Nutritional Security Indar Weir has sought to calm fears over the availability for the festive holiday season.
He says some six containers are due on island.
Minister Weir was at the time contributing to debate in Parliament on the Debt (Natural Disaster and Pandemic Deferment of Payment) (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023.
It makes provisions for deferment of the payment of amortizations and interests due on debt, on the occurrence of natural disaster or a pandemic event under certain circumstances.
Mr. Weir stressed that like Barbados, other countries across the globe are facing issues with food production due to climate change.
