摘要

For three centuries after 1650, the English-speaking Caribbean lived from sugar. But for the past few decades this source of sweetness and slavery has been in decline, kept alive by trade preferences. Now the drip feed of subsidy is about to diminish. With bananas, another mainstay, also under threat from changing trade rules, Caribbean political leaders are caught between crying injustice and a long overdue search for alternatives. The underlying problem is that growing sugar or bananas on small, hilly farms on Caribbean islands is far less efficient than in large, mechanised plantations in Latin America and elsewhere (see chart). Until now, the European Union has bought most of the Caribbean's sugar-at two to three times the world price.
