Kingston, Jamaica. 24-25th September 2019. Food exports and tourism are the backbone of the Jamaican economy. These sectors cannot afford foods being rejected at international borders or foodborne illness turning tourists away from coming to Jamaica. Those who export foods including farmers, producers, agri-processers and manufacturers must deal with the many global challenges of continually changing international regulations. Those who work in food service and hospitality whether in hotels or resorts, restaurants and institutions such as schools, hospitals, retailers and caterers must comply with recently revised regulations at home and internationally.
If you are a decision maker in the food safety, export or tourism fields, then this conference is of special interest to you.
