A working group has been established to recommend policy guidelines for the baking sector in Antigua and Barbuda, with the goal of registering all bakers and bakeries in the country.
Chaired by Ambassador Clarence E. Pilgrim from the Ministry of Trade, the group aims to create an association for bakers and ensure the local bakery industry operates within a structured and fair-trading environment.
Ambassador Pilgrim highlighted the group’s mission to review existing standards, assess current practices, identify areas for improvement, and consult with stakeholders to develop an informed and effective National Baking Policy.
The policy will focus on sustainability, fair trade, and consumer protection, aligning with regional and international standards.
Co-chair Nadia James outlined the group’s objectives of creating a comprehensive policy framework that addresses regulatory, health, and economic aspects of the baking sector.
Chief Health Inspector Daryl Spencer mentioned that the Central Board of Health is developing specialized training modules tailored for the baking community, emphasizing the need for targeted support in this area.
Also check the environment where they operate as well and do regular health checks
