roadmap for the organization and recently approved by almost 20 countries.

ECS as well as the role of the IICA Delegation in Dominica. He will be meeting with the Deputy

Francine Baron.
DR. Otero will also be paying a courtesy call on CARDI’s Representative in Dominica,
Mr. Dorian Etienne. Some of IICA’s stakeholders in Dominica will also get the opportunity to
meet with the IICA Director General.
Dr. Otero will be accompanied by one of his Special Advisors, Dr. Patrick Antoine, and the IICA
Representative to the Eastern Caribbean States (ECS), Mr. John King. The Director General
departs on Thursday, August 23, 2018
Run from that. Monsanto Bayer ring a bell…. you’ll have crops growing that you can’t replant without their seed
These farmers need to get back to the original organic farming and get rid of all the chemicals from these corporations that are destroying the fruits, vegetables and polluting the land. The brainwashing by these corporations is killing DA agriculture and as well people that eat the produce.
So Skerrit running from the Americans whether they are the senior management of Ross that stayed in Dominica for 4 days to try to meet him, or just Director General of IAIC en? Why he afraid of thos Americans for? I wonder if he thinks they are working for the FBI or CIA and might be interested in meeting him. Gason I bet you if it was someone from Russia, North Korea, Iran, China, Venezuela or a good man that loves Dominica like Aliereza Monfared, not Reggie they would be meeting with today.
Meeting with Austrie,is like not meeting with anyone.This guy is the epitome of the most brainless minister in the Commonwealth,and in the DLP,he is not alone.This DLP has a plethora of accomplished buffoons.They get good advice,but is a “”cannot do”” government.

you are one bitter soul. I do hope you relieve yourself of all that hate, bitterness and anger for your own good.
Lord have mercy upon him.

%, You are sick and suffering from Skerriticism.
Skerrit will go only when Lennox has left. And Skerrit will go until Demitry takes over!
Have you % seen those big BLUE FLIES that engolf an animal that have been dead for a few days and left alone in the sun? You potrait yourself like one of them.
I hope he gets an opportunity to meet directly with the farmers. While it is important to meet with government officials to engage in meaningful discussions, the people who directly have their hands to the plough should have a say. More often than not, we need a bottom up approach and not this top down strategy every time. Hope to see the revival of this once flourishing sector. Dominica should be the bread basket of the sub-region. The arable lands, the abundance of water and sunshine, the people are available to deliver the goods, all they need now is astute leadership.
And markets to sell what they produce, besides the local markets. Grow what you eat, eat what you grow.
Oh boy, why is Austrie the one he meeting with and not the minister of everything, Roosevelt Skerrit, who has already told us that when people come to Dominica they don’t want to meet with no other minister, except him. Boy I can tell their will be a language barrier with Austrie
Anyway what ever Roosevelt Skerrit did to you all he well did it eh!!!!!!! I wonder if you all even sleep at nights!!!!!
