Five groups representing poultry producers, today, insisted on a review of the process for the importation of chicken and chicken parts. In a full page advertisement in The Sunday Gleaner, the producers called for Prime Minister Andrew Holness to bring more balance and transparency and remove corruption from the process. The message was endorsed by the Caribbean Poultry Association (CPA), the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA); Jamaica Broilers, under its Best Dressed Chicken brand; Caribbean Broilers (CB Group) and what the advertisement described as thousands of Jamaican broiler farmers. The advert by the stakeholders follows a Jamaica Gleaner story on Thursday highlighting a report by the Integrity Commission, which shows that some importers have been blending in leg quarters among shipments of chicken back and neck to circumvent combined tariffs for premium parts. The tariffs reportedly amount to as much as 240 per cent.
