McDonald had announced at the Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange this week that the UWI has entered into partnership with the Government of Jamaica and Continental Baking Company Limited to produce bread and other by-products from cassava. The venture, McDonald said, will save Jamaica $1 billion per year. Research Days ran from February 19 to 21. (PHOTO: ASTON SPAULDING)
