How come the 1% ANSA McAl name not on the list of biggest f/x users?

Is it because they park their US$ in the USA?

Anyways - 2/1 in the grocery > PriceSmart.

That goes for butter, cheese, snacks etc.

You mean close to expiry date 2/1 right?

plenty things good after expiry. just had some instant ramen that expired 2 months ago, i feel fine

Leff him alone nah. He stush .

Dem so does throw away something the day after the expiry date because they feel it rotten.

I have yogurt bought 2/1 with October 2021 expiry date that I am still using. Absolutely nothing is wrong with it. Saved a bunch of money as well.

Allyu men have iron stomach oui

LOL. It is not quite that. Food does not spoil overnight just because an expiry date comes and goes. That is your mind-psychology at play.

When I buy yogurt close to expiry it goes right into the fridge when I reach home and there it stays until used. I have never had a problem with it or any other 2/1 that needed to be put in the fridge.

Ansa probably generates enough Forex through exports to not need to use much of what CBTT sells to the local banks.

ANSA have their own bank now, headed by a former PNM government Minister, who may or may not get forex by the boat load from the Central Bank, which may or may not be headed by a PNM governor.

I do the grocery shopping for my household. I can guarantee that I buy more close to expiry date 2/1 than most people! Last weekend at Best Deal foods in Curepe I bought ALL the 2/1 butter they had. They're in my freezer right now. THat'll last a year if need be.

Yeah, but only a few supermarket items occasionally are on bogo specials. So Pricesmart is very handy IRL.

Good thing I passed and bought mine before Dogg oui President butter to di worl

very good quality butter made in france

Egg prices to go up as animal feed increases

One of the three main suppliers of bulk animal feed, Master Mix, will be raising its price of products effective Monday but livestock farmers say it was expected.

According to a release by general manager Hamant Mahabir on Saturday, since the company’s last price adjustment in February 2021, there were increases in the prices of feed ingredients, freight and operating expenses.

“In many cases, the percentage increases have been in double-digits. As a relatively small importer of commodities in the context of global trade, Master Mix has been impacted by the volatility in the market."

Mahabir added that the company would continue to monitor the conflict in Eastern Europe and its impact on the global supply chain. He also assured customers that the company would strive for the most affordable prices of grains and other feed inputs without compromising quality.

The increases will affect feed for layers, broilers, dairy, pig and speciality feed for ducks, rabbits, sheep and goats, and whole and crack corn. It will also affect additives such as oyster shells, Tylan, Bluestone and Vitamin C.

TT Table Egg Producers vice-president Dennis Ramsingh told Sunday Newsday all Master Mix’s feed prices were increased by six to seven per cent and the company’s customer base was largely table egg producers.

As a result, egg prices would also increase from Monday although the organisation was still in discussions about the price range increase for corporate customers.

again failure of the reds to protect farmers and citizens. no vision, for years sheraz khan asking for a feed mill and storage to be built in TT and he was ignored. now egg and meat going up with everything else but guess what " they aint riot yet". is april eh, mid year review soon.

There are three big feed mills in Trinidad.
Master mix, Nutrimix and Warnerville Grain Mills.
