Jamaica: Shaw to visit Israel for bilateral talks
Shaw will visit to Israel from November 23 to 28 to explore opportunities for greater collaboration on several areas

Minister of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries Audley Shaw will visit to Israel from November 23 to 28 to explore opportunities for greater collaboration on several areas.
Shaw, along with an accompanying delegation of public and private sector members, will meet with Israel’s Minister of Commerce to discuss prospects for bilateral trade, investments in agro-processing, tourism, and Business Process Outsourcing.
“The meetings will also focus on investment and technical assistance toward the digitisation of government ministries, departments and agencies as well as exploring the possibility of Israeli contractors bidding for and providing long-term financing loans to continue the build-out of major infrastructure projects in Jamaica,” said a ministry statement.
“Shaw will seek Israeli cooperation on expanding our agricultural capacity in order to meet the substantial demand of the Jamaican and tourist population - a demand that is now met by imports in the region of US$1 billion annually,” it added.
The ministry said the discussion on this subject will centre on technical assistance and investments in field and farm capacity and equipment, agricultural storage and agro-processing, as well as on upgrading and digitising our water production and irrigation resources.
The delegation will also convene meetings with senior Israeli business owners who may have interest in exploring business and investment opportunities in Jamaica.
