PiAngo Fest is an event which allows for agro-processors in Antigua and Barbuda to showcase their locally made products but also mainly products infused with mango and pineapple. This year, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) and the Caribbean Union Bank partnered for the agro-processors competition which had seven (7) categories. The winners are as follows;<\/div>\n

This year at PiAngo Fest Reloaded we had the very first young entrepreneurs ever at the event; Hannah Charles who makes hot sauces and Dalan Samuel who creates rosin crafts.
