BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – THE CARIBBEAN’S PREOCCUPATION with “leisure, pleasure and nice time” is hampering its productivity and progression, says Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines Dr Ralph Gonsalves.
Addressing the Caribbean Export Development Agency’s Exporters’ Colloquium at Hilton Barbados on Wednesday, he said people in the region were limiting themselves by not working hard enough and smart enough.
He noted that problems of labour and management productivity existed across a range of sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing and tourism.
