By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Minister of Agriculture, Food Security, and Enterprise Jose Abelardo Mai met on Thursday with Maher Makalde, Chief Executive Officer of Israeli company, the Makalde Group, to discuss investment opportunities in the agriculture sector.

The group was led by Mr. David Martinez from the Secretariat in the Office of the Presidency of the Republic of El Salvador and included the Makalde Group’s legal representative Sara Acevedo, said the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security, and Enterprise (MAFSE).

“That’s a company that is involved in supplying materials and equipment for agriculture, open-field agriculture and controlled-environment agriculture,” said Minister Mai.

Mai said Makalde indicated that to have better quality vegetables, for example for the tourism market or for the export market to any part of the world, they want product quality and that the technology he is promoting would be necessary.

Makalde is working with a similar type of project in El Salvador and is offering Belize the technology and technical assistance.

During their visit the delegation toured the vegetable markets in Belmopan and visited the Valley of Peace Lagoon Co-operative to get a firsthand experience of the farming methods used in Belize.
