(37 downloads)Download this episode (10 min)
FOR BROADCAST: Thursday, August 28. In the fourth programme of a new CRNM series, Caribbean TradeBeat EXTRA, we examine the likely impact of the new economic partnership agreement between the Caribbean and the European Union on the region's key export industries. "Yes, we have no bananas" could sum up the future of the Caribbean banana industry but the EPA offers a way out of a tortured history of relentless challenges by larger Latin American nations intent on eroding the Caribbean's market share and competitiveness. Dr. Marshall Hall, shareholder and former managing director of the Jamaica's largest banana exporter, Jamaica's Producer's Group explains. Produced and presented by Julius Gittens.
