The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) has launched a program to reduce its member countries' massive spending on food imports. OECS countries currently spend US$480 million yearly on food imports, double the level of a decade ago, and the plan seeks to slash the figure by US$230 million, almost half, in 3 to 5 years. The program focuses on measures to boost local agricultural production and overcome poverty. Alison Kentish reports from Castries, St. Lucia. teleSUR
