 The Love St. Lucia Premium Corner is the latest initiative under the Bi-Local Campaign that forms part of the enhancement of the efficiency of production, distribution supply chains in the fruits and vegetables sector project, also known as the Seven Crops Project. The Premium Corner will be available at the Marseys stores' supermarkets across St. Lucia and will primarily promote the buying of selected locally produced fruits and vegetables of the Seven Crops Project, which includes cantaloupes, lettuce, tomatoes, pineapples, watermelons, cabbages and bell peppers. Perishable's manager at Marseys stores, Dunston Demille, says the Love St. Lucia Campaign is a step in the right direction towards encouraging local production and consumption. We remain fully committed to working with the agricultural sector, our suppliers, our farmers, so that our customers would get the best quality produced locally. Our expectations for this Love St. Lucia Campaign is for our local items to be our customers' first choice. We don't want it to be the only choice, but we want it to be the first choice. Permanent Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, Natural Resources and Corporatives, Barry Morphilicier, says that the public-private partnership will be of great benefit to local farmers and consumers alike. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, Natural Resources and Corporatives, we are pleased to enter into this public-private partnership with Marseys to launch the Love St. Lucia Premium Corner and also recognize the efforts of the Department of Commerce in that process to buy local, promote local, local consumption, local production, and to create in some way local demand. And that is the intention. And these objectives align definitely with our 2015-2021 strategic plan at the Department of Agriculture. And it is embedded in that document that we have to boost local food systems, the quality of the food and the safety of the food as well. Ambassador of the Republic of China, Taiwan to St. Lucia, his Excellency Peter Shen, expressed gratitude to all stakeholders involved in ensuring the success of yet another milestone of the Seven Clubs project. I sincerely believe that this creative and meaningful initiative has successfully brought confidence to both farmers and customers. Seven Clubs project is another important step to awareness raising, promoting food security and mitigating the impact of climate change. The enhancement of the efficiency of production distribution supply chains in the fruits and vegetables sector project, also known as the Seven Clubs project, commenced in 2019 and will culminate this year.
