Trade and production cooperation between Caribbean and Latin American countries

Parsan, Elizabeth

Trade and production cooperation between Caribbean and Latin American countries - GeorgetownGY CCS 1990 - [3],51 leaves.

Examines three specific areas - the scope for trade in non-traditional commodities - areas for production cooperation - and possible constraints to available opportunities. Reports that the products in the chemicals category have the greatest potential for trade. In the second area, formulates a broad strategy, i.e. utilizing raw material in the Caribbean to build up or expand upon existing industries; and sourcing technologies and machinery and equipment from Latin America. Identifies agro-industry - fruit, vegetables, edible oil and fish processing as the key area for production cooperation. Highlights as major constraints - tariffs and non-tariff barriers, finance and transport. Also makes policy recommendations.
