Jamaican first with ISO 14001

Jamaican first with ISO 14001

The Jamaica Producers farms group comprising the island s Eastern and St Mary Banana Estates has been given ISO 14001 certification, the first agricultural entity in the Caribbean to do so. The ISO 14000 series of the International Standards Organisation covers the environmental responsibilities of an enterprise; ISO 14001 covers the management aspects. The group s Simply Green, Keep It Clean system covers the meticulous and environmentally correct disposal of waste and chemicals, the recycling of plastic bottles and the polyethylene sleeves which protect the growing banana fruit, and training of all staff handling pesticides. With this certification, the group has increased its sales to Britain s TESCO supermarket chain, which takes 60% of its output.
