The commercial agreement would supplement the current partnership in place for bi-lateral scientific research on nutraceuticals.

Jamaica and the Republic of South Africa are signing a commercial agreement, which will see businesses in both countries collaborating on nutraceuticals, research, and development.

The commercial agreement would supplement the current partnership in place for bi-lateral scientific research on nutraceuticals, which came into effect in 2015.

This agreement between both countries would be looking at how  plants can be used to feed better, give better nutrition, and how ingredients can be taken for commercialisation and turn them into businesses.

The agreement will be signed in a few days during a visit to South Africa by Minister of Science, Energy and Technology Dr Andrew Wheatley and Director General at NCST Professor Errol Morrison.
