President of the Barbados Egg and Poultry Producers Association Carlyle
Brathwaite said so at a seminar on the avian influenza on the
islands.
Brathwaite said he was proposing the meeting with poultry
farmers "so as to sit down with them and outline the whole project of what I am
trying to do. I am trying to create a fund that would have anywhere around $50
to $55 million in it."
The poultry farmers' leader said it would take
five to six years to create the fund and could then be used in times of
calamities.
He also added that he does not want poultry farmers or
the association to be dependent on Government. Brathwaite also took the time to
express concern that there is a situation where farmers are in a "bubble of
success".
The BEPPA President also said he was pleased with the high
turnout to the seminar, stating that it indicates the seriousness that those in
the industry have as it relates to fighting bird flu.
He added that
in light of the first seminar which, according to him, also helped with
educating poultry farmers on farm management, standards on farms, to guarantee a
better product to consumers, there will be more seminars.
