About the Campaign
Buy Local, Build Trinbago is a national movement to increase the consumption of locally produced goods and services, build consumer confidence, support local businesses, and strengthen Trinidad and Tobago’s economic resilience.
It ties consumer choice directly to patriotism, community, and nation-building.
An Advisory and Implementation Council (AIC) provides strategic oversight, coordinates, monitor and implements the campaign. The AIC comprises members of the public and private sector.
