While citing the need for more persons to consume eggs locally, Agriculture Minister, Floyd Green, is advocating for the removal of the General Consumption Tax (GCT) on the popular food item. If we’re saying it’s (eggs) such a good protein; if we’re saying we’re now looking how we can feed ourselves; then we have to reduce that cost so that working people can be able to afford (eggs), stressed Green.
