Jamaican Government Implementing Import Restriction...

This move by Prime Minister Bruce Golding probably the only good thing he done since he took office, Golding has announced that the Government is restricting the granting of licenses to import agricultural produce in Jamaica.

The move coincides with the decision of the Government to freeze the granting of waivers and incentives while that system is reviewed.
According to Prime Minister Golding, the restriction on imports is aimed at helping farmers to secure local markets.
Speaking in North Central Clarendon on the weekend, Golding said the administration has come under pressure for restricting imports.
However, he says it’s an initiative the Government undertake.

The United State and other country not buying Jamaica goods, instead they flood Jamaica with cheap inferior food killing the local economy...Good move by Jamaica government, lets see how this played out.
