Neil Netaf, senior advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture in Vanuatu, praised what he described as a political will within CARICOM after observing “frank” discussions among CARICOM ministers during their closed-door meeting of the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) on Friday.
COTED promotes trade and economic development of CARICOM and oversees the operations of the Single Market and Economy. Friday’s meeting formed part of the one-week annual Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA), which took place in Grand Cayman from October 24 – 28.
