Elected officials and government agenciesAs those responsible for the development and implementation of policies, regulations, andlegislation that affect biofuels through incentives, regulations, pricing schemes, land usepolicy, energy policy and so on, it is critical that elected officials are aware of the essentialaspects of biofuels, their benefits for Jamaica, how they relate to other uses of crops andland, what barriers they face, and what the role of government can be in their successfuldevelopment. Furthermore, a coordinated effort with open and on-going dialogue will resultin more effective and efficient policy making.Issues to address:(a) What biofuels are;(b) How biofuels benefit Jamaica/rationale for biofuel development;(c) What policies impact biofuels, including biofuel policy, land use policy, etc.;(d) Balance of payments, financial and fiscal issues at the country level;(e) How infrastructure improvements impacts biofuel industry, and other agriculture;(f) Importance of a coordinated effort;60
