February 10, 2025

There is no food crisis in Barbados.

This strong response from Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Indar Weir who’s calling on opposition leader Ralph Thorne to produce the evidence.

Thorne made the charge about the food crisis during a contribution to a debate in Parliament last week.

Mr. Thorne said Barbados is at a stage where there is a crisis regarding the supply of milk and fish production.

However, Mr. Weir tells CBC News Mr. Thorne’s claim is extreme, and notes the United States of America has been experiencing milk supply issues, while Brazil has in the past.
