He outlines ten main constraints facing the Caribbean and proposes ideas for consideration. In response to Mr. Jessop’s statements, Pat Thompson of the Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce says that Caribbean initiatives are already underway to develop export markets in Europe but he agrees that a lot more needs to be done.
