Montserrat Hills in central Trinidad will become the cocoa centre of the world says Dr Bhoe Tewarie, minister of Planning and Sustainable Development.
Speaking at a political meeting in Caparo on Thursday night, as he makes a bid to become the next MP for Caroni Central, Tewarie said: "The Montserrat Hills is noted worldwide as producing the best quality of cocoa, and under my representation as MP for Caroni Central, which falls in the constituency, I would spare no effort in establishing such a facility."
He said new jobs, both in the service and manufacturing sectors, would be available to the young people in Caroni Central. "T&T have prospered under this Government, and that further prosperity would be in the forthcoming years."
Jairam Seemungal, minister of Marine Resources and Lands, said that the constituency of La Horquetta/Talparo, which he has represented since 2010, has developed a great deal with improved water supplies, bridges, roads, and other infrastructure.
He promised to continue the work he has done to further develop the entire constituency.
