Taiwan Ambassador and CARDI discuss strengthening agro-processing in Belize

By Zoila Palma:  Taiwan’s Ambassador to Belize Amino Chi recently met with Omaira Avila Rostant, Caribbean Agriculture Research and Development Institute (CARDI) Representative for Belize, and Dr. Roland Schafleitner, Country Director of World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) in Mexico.

Avila Rostant indicated that WorldVeg and CARDI  has successfully created an agricultural knowledge sharing network in the Caribbean region, especially among Taiwan’s diplomatic Allies, through “Networking to Enhance International Cooperation in Vegetable Research and Development,” sponsored by Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Discussions included strengthening Agro-processing capability since this is essential to assist Belize in enhancing value-added agriculture, a critical step improving small farmers’ livelihood.

“As a reliable partner, Taiwan will keep sharing its experience with international partners to make contributions to the development of Belize,” the Taiwan Embassy said.
