The Voice of Poultry in the Caribbean
Our Philosophy
We are one.
One industry. One Caribbean. One voice.
The challenges that affect one of us, affect us all. This is why we put the Caribbean first. If we are to lead the conversation of change, growth, and innovation in the regional poultry industry, we must work closely together. We collaborate openly and sincerely because trust begins with transparency.
Beckoned by our vision of a secure and sustainable Caribbean, we don’t take issue with challenges; we take initiative. Unified by our purpose, we believe we can prosper together.
