ONE OF OUR BIGGEST PROBLEMS IS WASTING FUNDS ON BUYING FOREIGN PRODUCTS WITH HARD CURRENCY.
I SAY WASTING BECAUSE YOU JUST SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO BUY SUCH IF THE ITEMS CAN BE MADE HERE AND BE OF GOOD QUALITY AND PRICE.
EXAMPLE….MANY RETAILERS IMPORT FURNITURE FROM THE USA AND PANAMA, USING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OUR DOLLARS TO DO SO.
WHY SHOULD THEY BE ABLE TO DO THIS WHEN WE CAN MAKE THESE PRODUCTS HERE?
WE HAVE THE BNSI COMPANY HERE WHICH CAN GO TO EVERY MANUFACTURER IN BARBADOS AND GRADE THEIR PRODUCTS ON PRICE/ QUALITY AND SERVICE….ONCE THEY MEET THE GRADE THEN THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT WILL NOW BE PROTECTED FROM BEEN PURCHASED OUTSIDE.
THIS CONCEPT ABOUT US TRADING WITH THE WORLD IS NONSENSE, WE ARE TOO SMALL TO DO THIS. IT HAS TAKEN THE USA YEARS TO REALIZE THIS AND NOW MR TRUMP IS STOPPING THIS BY IMPOSING HIGH TARIFFS AND KEEPING PURCHASES AT HOME. ENGLAND HAVE FOUND THIS OUT TOO , LOST THOUSANDS OF JOBS BY SEEING THEIR FACTORIES CLOSE DOWN AND ALL WORK BEEN DONE IN THE FAR EAST. ONLY RECENTLY HAVE THEY CORRECTED THIS AND BROUGHT BACK JOBS TO THE UK.
WE MUST DO THE SAME ONCE THE PRODUCT MEETS OUR BNSI STANDARDS. WE MUST SEE THE MISTAKE WE MADE AND NOW CORRECT IT.
YOU CAN GO ONE STEP FURTHER AND INSIST ALSO THAT FOR ANY PRODUCT TO BE PROTECTED THERE MUST BE TWO OR MORE MANUFACTURERS MAKING THE PRODUCT. THIS WILL PROTECT PRICE GOUGING IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE LEGIT MANUFACTURER.
WE MUST PROTECT OUR OWN FIRST AND MAKE BARBADOS GREAT TOO!
KEEP JOBS ALSO! KEEP US$$ HOME.

Valid point Mr Raizman I agree
In terms of local manufacturing , I do not think of myself as having any knowledge of the subject but just wanted to share some thoughts from what I have seen in some caribbean nations compared to us. Some caribbean nations I have been to I have found a lack of our products on their shelves. I would have seen Wibisco products and Banks products like Plus or Tiger Malts. Outside of these Barbados has a very small footprint regionally. Our local manufacturers fight for the few shelf spaces in our local supermarkets and stores but I wonder if any thoughts have been made to export. I believe they have been attempts but what has been the leading hindrance to our export market especially in the areas of food. For example I see many local versions of pepper sauce on our shelves but do we have too many for our local market? With each addition the pie gets smaller. Can some of these companies go into a partnership of some kind and through the local government agencies try to increase production for export to such nations. Local seasonings tend to be another area that i believe we can look into for export as well as they are many local brands on the shelves . I think if the many producers pool their resources together to meet export needs then maybe we can have viable products that can be exported to increase foreign exchange earnings. May be lofty thinking on my part but I believe we have too many players in some areas of manufacturing that could maybe be consolidated to produce not just a local brand but an international one.
A thought for maybe reducing some of our imports could be to see what we import that we actually produce here as well and for the numbers we import , see if our local producers and manufacturers can supply the need of the nation. For example our vegetables. I believe our government has the information of how much of each vegetable we import. So why not then approach our local farmers or put it out to tender requesting local farmers to be contracted to plant the amount of that crop that we would need to supply the local market . At the same time duties on imported vegetables should be such that it pretty much makes it senseless to import what can be readily obtained locally.
As I said before these are just my humble ideas and with more information maybe i can be enlightened as to why such measures may not be feasible at this time.
Best Regards
The cost of EXPORTING goods from Barbados is very high. There needs to be a mechanism to make it more viable to small export quantities, else we will never get to large quantities. The cost of labour is another issue which we can't do much about, so we need to be smarter - use technology to make us more efficient & allow us to produce unique products that people buy at premium prices. Also be smarter in communicating to farmers what is needed and when as well as pooling resources as tango 82 rightly said. Importantly, we need to be realistic and recognise that we can't produce what many others do and expect it to be competitive on the regional or world market.
Method of maintaining filter element of Roots vacuum unit
Roots vacuum unit has a kind of filtering function in use, which is inseparable from the role of filter element. In order to better realize the filtering function and improve the efficiency of the equipment, it is also necessary to regularly maintain the filter element. Refer to the following for specific maintenance methods.
The filter element of Roots vacuum unit shall be inspected frequently to avoid failure affecting the whole equipment. After the filter element is used for a period of time, it is strongly recommended to replace it. It can't be used for any other purpose, so that not only the good filtering effect can't be achieved, but also the operation of the machine will be affected.
Generally, before opening roots vacuum unit, we will check whether the parts are complete and whether there is any fault, so as to avoid problems in use and affect the working efficiency. For filter element, we can open the machine to see the driving current after all the parts are checked to be OK. If the current is normal, it will be OK, but if the current has a downward trend It is likely that the filter element of Roots vacuum unit is blocked, which affects the operation of current.
The filter element of Roots vacuum unit shall be inspected regularly. If there is too much dirt, it is recommended to replace the filter element to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

A sink is one of the most useful plumbing fixtures in the home. Sinks come in all shapes and sizes and function differently depending on how they are used. A small sink may be enough for typical house needs such as washing hands or putting food in the dishwasher, but when you need to do more, you need a larger one. In some cases, a larger sink will be needed in order to accommodate a bathtub or a high drain. Bathtubs usually fit into sinks that are deeper than the usual sink, while drains need to be deeper than the sink in order to work properly. It's up to you to decide what your individual needs are and whether or not a larger or smaller sink will be able to accommodate them.
Manufacturer of Digital Grounding System in India
As we all know that now a day we all are familiar with technology as well as electrical devices and we always want to protect that from the damages so for this reason now our company JMV LPS LTD providing digital grounding system is the course of action as this device is made to give protection from inadequacy current and vagrants. The sudden climb in voltage is named as flood, and the occasion of comparable leads the electronic device toward its impact. Consequently, the foundation of a keen building up module thwarts hazards as it offers customary setting up, flood removal, equipotential work, and some more. The most astounding part of the device is it doesn't require building up bars to be covered to murder the made inadequacy current and are ideal for harsh and inclining areas.
Basically, sabotaging conditions event by the justification horrible effects of floods/wanderers to structure electronic, transmission, IT equipment, etc., which are the unconventional failing and mischief because of the setback of an ideal confirmation course of action? Like this, the perfect game plan insightful building up module offers confirmation to all of them. To present something practically the same, you need to relate the pile of the equipment on the busbar gave on building up a module, and interface the setup module with reference earth going on the transformer or from the LT sheets.
