Caribbean TradeBeat
Caribbean TradeBeat - the radio magazine - from the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery - aims to make the business of Caribbean trade talks your business. Caribbean TradeBeat keeps you informed and involved, as the CRNM works in the region's main negotiating theatres – from bilateral agreements to the global trade accord governed by the World Trade Organisation, the current Doha round. Hear the voices of the region's business community on how they meet the successes - or challenges - of global free trade and find more on how businesses, large or small, can help forge trade deals for the benefit of the Caribbean private sector - from securing better market access to developing innovative, sunrise industries and services. Write to Caribbean TradeBeat at privatesector@crnm.org. Produced by the CRNM with support from the Multilateral Investment Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank. Presented by Julius Gittens.

Eastern Caribbean farmers and NGOs work out a practical response to a changing trade environment while taking a keen interest in negotiations for a European Union-CARIFORUM Economic Partnership Agreenment (EPA) in the hope that it could open up new export opportunities for them in the EU. Taking part are Cleve Scott of global charity Oxfam, Jethro Greene of the Eastern Caribbean Trading Agriculture and Development Organization (ECTAD), Eustace Vitalis of Sandals St Lucia and St Lucian farmers Marc Remy and David Hippolyte. TradeSpeak explains the fair trade concept.
