Episode Details

Barbados farmers are sounding the alarm as government-approved imports of poultry and pork threaten their livelihoods, despite local production surging. The Barbados Agricultural Society blames BAMC for enabling these imports, which are flooding the market and squeezing small farmers with shrinking profits and storage woes. Leaders like CEO James Paul argue that local producers—often poor families—are being forced to lower prices while consumers pay more for imports, exposing a troubling double standard. With duties on pork imports under review, farmers are urging the government to reverse course and protect their investments. A major press conference is looming as tensions rise over trade policy and the future of local agriculture.
