CARICOM is a waste. Leaders with no vision. The islands are as divided as division can be. Not even sports have brought them together. Some groups local and foreign are ripping enormous financial benefits from the importation of these processed foods and will lobby to protect their trade.
The Caribbean islands always presumed that anything foreign is better than their own.A Chinese friend of mine who resides in the UK once told me that Chinese people don't eat the food that is prepared in their restaurants which was very surprising.This should be a warning to many people.Home Cooked food is the best.
This eloquent articulation of a sound rudimentary economic framework with simple deployment and positive exponential economic outcomes-
- deserves at least 10 repetitions of Handel's Alleluis oratorio followed by a 21 gun salute from an HMS Frigate:
Merci Beaucoup Monsieur Sanders for this excellent economic blue print.
The author would like us to believe that it is as easy as a b c to cut back on food imports; but in reality, it's not that easy. Here's an example of a Caribbean government which is trying to cut back on the importation of chicken in order to boost local production:
"The government instituted some procedures whereby for (chicken) importers to get a licence, they would need to encourage the local supply by purchasing a certain quantity from our local farmers.
"At one point, the government instituted a guarantee of 10 to 15 per cent for the local producers and later brought it up to 20 per cent. Two years ago, the government promised the farmers that they would take it up to 40 per cent, and as a result of that we received 'letters of concern' from the agencies in the United States through our embassies in London, complaining about the fact that our government is moving to encourage the production of local chicken...."

Was the complain from USA buttressed by some violation of a Trade Agreement like NAFTA?? If this is the case it would indeed complicate the drive to obtain self sufficiency in food production.

This is just a rehash of the failed CARIFTA Burnham-Barrow-&-Manley Model, with old wine placed in a new wine skin or bottle.
As food supplies diminish, will Lucians eat dogs like the people of China? To the best of my knowledge, Lucians diet was generally passing but failed with eating Pork(stomach, pig ears, tail, pig fingernails aka. pigfeet).
The worst of the Lucian diet is the consumption of BLOOD, called Black Pudding, of course, Lucians rank as world class "Gog-gears'.
Koreans and Chinese are reputable consumers of dog-meat - you eat Swine; would you eat rats and dogs?

The sophisticated French love snails.
Frog legs are eaten every where.
Why descend into castigation and sensationalism over a topic that even has Biblical implications?
A Blog affords us a real opportunity to learn from and with each other.
The slant of this thread is more maipweh than brainstorming for solutions, options,viable alternatives......
My guess is that the Fecesbook.com and Nitwitweet.com obsessed generations are devoid of parliamentary speaking and listening protocols to the extent that only smearing and scandal are their talking points.
Alas, some of us must persevere as the vanguard of Helen's continuity and true potential.
May the sincere sons and daughters of Helen- never be dismayed!

you have a propensity to legitimize your actions, based upon what the notoriously filthy French do - they practice cunnillingual sex upon the menstruating females and you call them "The sophisticated French" because they eat Kal-masson ? what is your problem man? if you want to eat shit just do it, but don't make it look like you are eating Red Snapper.
people like you are so brainwashed that you think of nothing else than bringing a white savage French woman to St. Lucia as a trophy wife, to spread claps? "The sophisticated French"? dammed sick nigger.
Degenerating from the discussion-again
Let's regroup- The conversation is about sustainable local agriculture as the core of local consumption of most foodstuffs, oui?
Someone refuted farming subsidies.ed the idea with proper citations / references to failed start ups of govt sponsored subsidies
Someone else made disparaging remarks about eating rodents etc.
my escargot statement was mostly satirical in its intent...with a hope to nullify said talk in this conversation.
I should have pursued my trajectory of discussing Govt. Subsidies to boost local farming initiatives. That is the is the matter alluded to by the cited blogger. This is a worthy discussion.
By the by if you are a "global" reader the term French sophisticate dates back to a time when the international standard for the diplomatic corps was FRENCH. FYI every ambassador had to have fluent command of French before receiving a posting anywhere in the world.
The highest standards of WINE FOOD AND CLOTHES became synonymous with the term FRENCH SOPHISTICATE.
Now just because you are a closeted racist does not change the usage or standards implied by the term.
(June 11 @ 6: 28 PM) you are the lead butler @ Dante's Inferno , non?
PS Please spare us your boring (pun intended) descents into the perversions of body orifices- YOUR perverted obsessions with Emperor NERO style erotica s reveals your closeted desires.
Perhaps you may want to consider a mini vacation in Santo Domingo. I know they can exceed your ID driven NEEDS- Thrill your frills- you bet!
