I. PREAMBLE
I am honoured by the invitation of the Caribbean Food Crops Society to speak at its Forty-Fourth Annual Meeting. Your longevity is indicative of an accumulation of knowledge and service to the agricultural sector of the Caribbean which I, a mere Economist and occasional dabbler in the special field of agricultural economics cannot match. Therefore I thank you in advance for your kindness and tolerance.
