BELIZE FAILURE OF ACADEMICS IN AGRO PROCESSING 2012

AGRO PROCESSING OF THE SURPLUS PRODUCTION CAPABILITY OF FARMERS OF BELIZE IS STILL LACKING. Blamed for the failure to produce new processed, and packaged vegetable food exports out of Belize, is the failure of academics of the University of Belize, hired to do just that in various government departments, to provide the technical know how, start up ventures for entrepreneurs in agro processing. Production of vegetable know how of farmers has surpassed the ability of the new academics hired to foster the agro processing industry, to create a product and market same for development of the country of Belize. We are failing and with oil money going to run out in four more years, in desperate need for an economic boost from the agro producing, export industry.
