WITH the economy expected to decline between 12 and 14 per cent this fiscal year, Opposition spokesman on finance, Julian Robinson is urging the Andrew Holness-led Administration to focus on areas of intervention such as agriculture and digitisation to stimulate economic growth.

Addressing a meeting of the Rotary Club of Downtown Kingston on Wednesday, Robinson, who is also the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, argued that given the constraints Jamaica faces there has to be a very targeted and focused approach regarding the areas the Government wants to prioritise to achieve economic growth.

According to Robinson, if more focus is placed on the agricultural sector an opportunity will be provided for food security by growing what we eat and eating what we grow, while expanding exports.
