And there's also some largesse to go around in the citrus industry where Petrocaribe funds are making three million dollars – and possibly more
available to tide farmers over until their final payment comes in. The Prime Minister explained:..
Hon. Dean Barrow – Prime Minister of Belize
"Government, out of Petrocaribe Funds – and the farmers at CPBL were told this – will provide a 2 million dollar working capital facility so that the
farmers can get paid now what they are due. They actually need 4 million. We have gone – I have gone to Heritage Bank, and Heritage Bank says it will
put up to the other 2. I believe Steve is a man – he has to go to his Board. But, if that doesn't happen, we will give them the entire 4 million
dollars. When I say give, they are not asking. It's – CPBL will pay us back."
