On June 18, 2025, the Fair Trading Commission (FTC) participated in the MSME Business Roadshow held at Manning’s School in Savanna‑la‑Mar, Westmoreland. The event brought together business owners, consumers, government agencies, and other key stakeholders in a dynamic forum for engagement and collaboration.
FTC representatives provided valuable insights into the Commission’s role in promoting fair competition, safeguarding consumer welfare, and contributing to national economic development. Attendees received guidance and information on how the FTC supports a competitive marketplace that benefits both businesses and consumers.
A highlight of the roadshow was the entrepreneurial pitch segment, where local business owners competed for grants ranging from JMD$200,000–JMD$400,000. The event also featured over 40 exhibitors, expert-led workshops, and a wide array of resources from the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC) and its partners — all aimed at driving growth and innovation in the MSME sector.
The FTC’s participation underscored its ongoing commitment to fostering a vibrant, competitive business environment across Jamaica.
