draft

Acting Minister for Commerce and Industry (DCI) Soroi Eoe said the draft NCP presented by the DCI was significant and wanted everyone to appreciate and provide their views in the two-day consultation workshop.

“I encourage you all to put meaningful input into this policy by ensuring that it is better aligned with your organization’s responsibilities,” Eoe told other representatives of the Government agencies, private sectors and civil societies.

Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Tommy Tomscoll said the new polices are the, Agriculture Adjustment (AA) Bill, Agriculture Investment Bill, Incentives for large scale commercial investment and the incentives for smallholder, blockholder and family agriculture investment.      

The two draft Bills are to be presented in Parliament this year.

“Agriculture Adjustment (AA) draft Bill has been cleared by the State Solicitor paving the way for it to the First Legislative Council and to Parliament,” Tomscoll said.
