Richard Pandohie, President of the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA), says the sector must play a pivotal role in Jamaica and rise higher and stronger post-COVID-19.
He was speaking during the virtual JMEA Awards Gala on Thursday, December 10, which saw several major companies taking home top awards.
Pandohie said while Jamaican manufacturers and exporters have been adapting to their new realities brought on by the global pandemic, the sector still has a far way to go in achieving its full potential.
“Indeed, we have been resilient in keeping people employed and we have pivoted to diversify our product offerings. We have found new export markets and we have played a significant role in helping the most vulnerable in our society,” he noted.
