‘Stop importing hazardous foods!’ says Edmund G. Maduro
He was speaking on his EGM Radio Show aired on Thursday evening June 5, 2014 on ZROD 107.3 FM.
“Much of the food we import is unfit for human consumption,” said Maduro. “The chemicals are retained in the tissues of the animals. The food we eat is hazardous,” said Maduro, noting that in many cases the foods are not even permitted to be sold in the countries of origin.
“We do not need to import these unhealthy foods. We can produce our own foods,” he said.
He said that despite there being a number of greenhouses in the Territory, “we have not produced one tomato or eggplant.”
Maduro is of the view that the Territory has the potential to produce enough food both for local consumption and for export.
“We are more interested in sports fishing than we are in agriculture. Is the Government of the day paying attention to the development of its people?” asked Maduro.
