Why not to export bulk herbs & spices from Caribbean islands to EU
Changing Market – changed cooking practises
Land, Labour ,Water & Energy costs very high

Non tariff barriers higher –hermetically sealed
Meeting Hygiene & safety standards gets tougher
Protecting your I.P is v. expensive
Assembly and transhipment cost to Europe high
Local market profits generally always higher
US and Latin American markets are huge & close
