Gopee-Scoon tells NFM, seek out new markets

Gopee-Scoon threw out the challenge to the company’s management including NFM Chairman, Nigel Romano and senior executives including members of the board during a tour of its facilities on Tuesday.

The aim of the tour was to gain insight into the company’s operational efficiencies and to discuss the management’s plans for the company’s growth and sustainability.

Romano and the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Kelvin Mahabir, responded that in the short to medium term NFM intends to focus on plant efficiency, capacity flexibility and expansion, quality assurance infrastructure and systems, and the improvement of employee working conditions. They said that over the next two years, NFM will pursue the upgrade of its feed mill and raw material storage facilities, modernisation of the dry mix operations, the upgrade and centralisation of its laboratory and research and development facilities, the expansion of its warehousing at Carlsen Field and the improvement of office/ employee facilities.

Gopie-Scoon was accompanied by a team including Frances Seignoret, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Trade and Industry; NFM directors Joseph Jacob and Sonja Voisin, as well as Dennis Scott, Manager Alliances at the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
