We work with many contract farmers to promote entrepreneurship and we educate about the importance of good animal genetics and nutrition, all coming from Newport and our feed mill. Our operation is very integrated. We have a number of projects in the pipeline that we’re really excited about – things that will help the farmers and other small processors – which will be very positive for the country. I think that developing through collaboration is the future.” Currently, CBG exports to 18 countries across the Caribbean. According to Bogues, “Our presence in the region is largely with our animal feeds. And, that says something, that farmers many miles away are willing to wait on a container load of our feed because it helps to improve their yield and the performance of their livestock. On the CB Foods side, we’re in the Cayman Islands and Trinidad, to name a few. Export is a big part of the future of our business.” The CBG team is excited about the future and proud to continue working as advocates for change – creating jobs, supporting entrepreneurship, investing in education, promoting environmental sustainability, and above all making a difference to Jamaica. Summing up what makes CB Group so special, Lyn shares, “My family didn’t grow up on a farm, but they fell in love with agriculture after leaving the bakery. It’s one thing to see a business and an industry grow, but when you see the impact it has on people’s lives and the country, you can’t help but love what you do. That kind of culture is now part of our DNA. You join CBG when you want to make a difference. Through the generations, we’ve come to realize we’re not just in the chicken business and the agricultural space. What we really do is develop sustainable industries.” CB GROUP (CBG) Offering the best in Fire Fighting Equipment & Services for over fifty (50) years SALES & SERVICE OF ALL TYPE / SIZES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER SALES & SERVICE OF FIRE HOSES & HOSE REELS (WITH FITTINGS) BATTERY OPERATED & ELECTRICAL SMOKE DETECTORS RAIN COATS & RAIN SUITS/ SAFETY SIGNS / EMERGENCY LIGHTS DESIGN & INSTALLATION OF FIRE SUPPRESSION & FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS FIRE INSPECTION / SURVEY CONSULTANCY RE FIRE & SAFETY PROCEDURES IN CASE OF FIRE & EARTHQUAKE TRAINING/LECTURE & DEMONSTRATION TO MANAGEMENT & STAFF jafireequip@cwjamaica.com
