The Ministry of Economic Development, Planning, Trade, Cooperatives and International Business is pleased to announce its National Buy Local and Made in Grenada Campaign which officially started yesterday, January 11, 2016.
The entire population is being urged to support the local manufacturers by buying local products and services.
As part of the build up to this initiative, a meeting was held with local manufacturers to chart the way forward and to finalize the details of the programme.
The Campaign runs from January 11 to March 27, 2016., and is intended to bring many benefits to the manufacturing sector of Grenada while at the same time increase appreciation and awareness of the local industry.
A main component of the Campaign will be a Buy-Local Week which is carded for the week of February 1 to 7.
The Buy-Local Week will culminate with a Made in Grenada Expo at the Grenada National Stadium from 9:00am to 7:00pm on February 7.
Manufacturers wishing to exhibit at the Expo are asked to register with the Ministry of Trade at the Financial Complex at the Carenage.
All Grenadians are urged to support local as we promote what is made in Grenada.

With this statement from government, i am not sure if this Mitchell Government and ministers have any clue as to what the hell is going on in Grenada and her sister isles,these people yes the NNp Government have been running our country for as the P.M. would say for the last 30 odd years,give and take the four and a half years of the NDc last term and is it only now that they are advising grenadians to eat what you grow when in fact under his government rule our import bills is about three time that of our export bill and nearly half of that bill is made up of agriculture products the very thing this government is now encouraging us to do,or have some bright spark in government had a look or some sort of reflection on the home grown policies that was in place by the late Bro.Bishop ,when grenadians did not have to beg the Chinese to feed them as our Sister the Minister of Foreign affairs keeps reminding us,lord Grenada nice so,and why is this Government keep playing with the minds of our unsuspecting voters,
Lord help our people to politically educate themselves from nnp slavery from these so called politicans we now have here in Grenada who is only in it for filling their pockets and selling out our heritage and they dont really dont give a Figleaf for the common man and woman in grenada.
Lord Grenada Nice so.

Just to support the comments by Gabe,i am wondering in any one from the grenada Trade and Industry ever visit that duty free area near the port and notice the quantity of foreign made good that is on display ,of course some would say mainly to attract the tourist market selling at Us Dollars ,now questions must be asked by Government as to what incentive will be given to person who wishes to get involved in such initiative and will they be given the same tax incentive as those business operating in the DUTY FREE AREA..
