 The establishment of the Agri-Processing St. Lucien Network of Rural Women produces Barbono cluster plant will assist with product research and development for the transformation of local produce into value-added agricultural products. The plant will also provide training and technical assistance as well as support for the transfer of technology for agribusiness development to improve income generation and food security. The establishment of the St. Lucien Network of Rural Women produces Barbono cluster, Louisa Anthony, and scores the benefits of the plant to the residents of Barbono, the surrounding communities, its environs, as well as the national economy. Our outlook for the Agri-Processing Facility is that it is an asset to boost and grow business for our members and also the wider community of agro-processors. To achieve this, we have mapped out in a working business plan a number of areas for generating revenue from the operation of the facility as well as rich agreement on the importance of actively creating space for all interested persons to work with us here. Indicating that this new investment signals opportunities, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Cooperatives, Honourable Ezekiel Joseph, challenges the people of Barbono to utilise the plant efficiently. I have the fullest confidence that this place is going to be utilised properly. I have the fullest confidence. But of course, you have to take a number of things into consideration. One is how you manage it, to bring the benefits that is so much necessary for you. That's important. The management structure of this facility. Two, the question of food safety. I'm happy that the way it was constructed, it was constructed for us to be recognised internationally because we should not only look at our local market, we should be looking at the original market, we should be looking at the international market because the products I've seen being produced has that potential, Madam President. I know we had some different problems with the Department responsible, but of course we were able to overcome these challenges to make sure that it got the certification that it deserves to allow us to export. And here I say to allow us to export. The agri-processing plant was funded by the Banana Industry Trust at an estimated cost of approximately 500,000 EC dollars.
