CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of the Barbados Agricultural Society (BAS), James Paul, is throwing cold water on a local company bringing in hundreds of cases of coconut water into the island.

An upset Paul said yesterday that some businesses which took up large chunks of the country’s foreign exchange in ventures like these should have a harder time getting access to the reserves. james-paul

Speaking during a Press conference at the BAS’ headquarers at The Grotto, St Michael, yesterday, he revealed that the bottled coconut water was being imported from Guyana.

He said while he did not know the name of the business responsible, over 900 cases were in the waiting. (TSG)
