Highlight of the Agribusiness Society of UWI (ABS)

Just a quick highlight of the activities of the Agribusiness Society of the University of West Indies (UWI) for those of you that aren’t a part of the society. One of our main aims, is to provide practical exposure to students of the University who are reading for a degree in any agri-related field.

This field activity centers on a visit to the Trinidad and Tobago Agribusiness Association’s (TTABA) Agricultural Research Center with a focus on Rabbit Production. In addition the students were exposed to the process of Organic Composting and innovative added value products namely Pommecythere Juice.
