Chicken wings import probe

THE?BARBADOS?Agricultural Society (BAS) is planning to ruffle feathers over an importer being allowed to bring in two containers of chicken wings.
According to James Paul, chief executive officer of the BAS, the poultry sector will be carrying out an investigation into the matter.
He said producers had, for the first three months of the year, readied some 150 000 birds for the market each month and the granting of an import licence for wings was flying in the face of reason.
“The poultry industry will be calling for an investigation into this matter, why it has happened and why is it that a state corporation that is supposed to be there to protect the industry has allowed this to continue under their watch,” said Paul.
