Senator Hill, who highlighted the importance of exports and global engagement, underscored the Government’s continued support through programmes such as the Productive Input Relief (PIR), customs duty waivers, and technical assistance from JAMPRO and other agencies.
“We must export. There is no shortage of talent or creativity in Jamaica,” he said, while maintaining that “‘Made in Jamaica’ must mean excellence.”
Meanwhile, Senator Hill called for greater collaboration among local beauty and wellness practitioners, noting that the upcoming Expo provides a valuable platform for networking, promotion, and international business development.
