Trade Dispute: Trinidad Rejects Guyanese Milk

In a developing trade dispute, Trinidad and Tobago authorities rejected the import of two containers of milk from Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), citing stringent requirements that contradict regional free trade agreements. DDL Chairman Komal Samaroo expressed grave concerns over the potential implications for intra-regional trade and food security. The company is considering escalating the matter to the Caribbean Court of Justice to address what it views as unfair trade practices that undermine CARICOM's objectives.
