Citizens are urged to purchase local fish and meat in efforts to boost economy

Trade Minister Ian Douglas has urged citizens to purchase local fish and meat in efforts to boost the economy.

Douglas commended fishers of Portsmouth for their consistent productivity and said purchasing local produce will reduce Dominica’s annual imports of fish and meat.

Douglas further advised grocers here to purchase local fish and meat for resale.

According to Douglas, it is the opportune time to focus attention on Dominica’s fish and meat industry.
