Western European market for fresh pineapples - opportunity or myth for the Caribbean community countries

1992

Craig, K. (Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Inst., St. Augustine (Trinidad and Tobago))

This study seeks to detemine whether there are real opportunities for Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member countries to market fresh pineapples in the lucrative Western European market. The trends in world pineapple production and trade are analysed. It concludes that the Western European market for huge quantities of CARICOM-grown fresh pineapples is more a myth than an immediate opportunity, but that Guyana and Belize have some advantages to successfully solicit overseas investors to make the idea a reality.
