Agriculture
Along with contributing to the Caribbean’s GDP, agriculture also contributes to
domestic food supply and provides employment. While agriculture is the major
economic land-use activity in many Caribbean countries, agriculture accounts for
a declining percentage of most islands' GDP., Caribbean nations produce and
export bananas, citrus fruit, cocoa, sugar cane, mangoes and coconuts. The
Caribbean has fertile land where farmers plant their crops, although subsistence
farming is not as popular as it used to be. Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and
Guyana have lucrative sugar industries. Banana farms in the Caribbean are
situated in Belize, Suriname, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Grenada,
Dominica and St. Lucia.
Natural resources
By international standards, minerals most valuable on the international market
are found in Cuba, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. Several nations of the
Caribbean are rich in natural resources; including Trinidad's vast natural gas and
oil reserves, Jamaican bauxite and most recently the discovery of a large oil field
in Guyana. The resources that make significant contributions to domestic
economies and regional job sectors include fisheries, agriculture, forestry, mining
and oil and gas bauxite, iron, nickel, petroleum and timber, among others.
Petroleum, natural gas, bauxite, gold and asphalt are some of the underground
natural resources that attract mining and drilling interests. Jamaica and Guyana
have gold and bauxite reserves, and Trinidad and Tobago has extensive drilling
operations in petroleum, natural gas and asphalt.
