Michael Pintard

NASSAU, Bahamas — The government over the next fiscal year will be “extremely aggressive” in seeking to help fisherman and farmers access funding opportunities, Agriculture and Marine Resources Minister Michael Pintard said yesterday describing the effort as a “major plank in our thrust going forward”.

In an interview with Tribune Business Mr Pintard noted agriculture and marine resources are key areas where there is economic leakage.

“The government is committed to growing the economy and reducing the amount of funds that go out of the country in order to purchase those items we consume on a regular basis,” he said. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/aug/10/new-funding-sources-vital-for-fishing-and-farming/?news
