DIRECTORY Selected CARIFORUM Food Producer Groups, Buyers and Service Providers VOLUME 1 INTRA-ACP AGRICULTURAL POLICY PROGRAMME (APP) The Intra-ACP Agricultural Policy Programme is a broad technical cooperation framework focusing on the two regions, Caribbean and the Pacific. The programme supports the reduction and eradication of poverty in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries through sustainable development and successful integration of enterprise in these economies into national, regional and, where appropriate, global markets.

The APP focuses on the Caribbean and the Pacific islands, and seeks to promote the integration of small holders and small-medium size (SME) enterprises into local, national, regional and global markets, and thereby contribute to the reduction and eventual eradication of poverty in these regions. The policy actions of the APP, reflect the common priorities of the CARIFORUM region, and are so designed to increase the capabilities of regional development organizations to address identified needs, one of which is that of strengthening market linkages to contribute to small holder’s and SME development. This publication, which is presented in the form of a directory, seeks to address this need, and may be regarded as a first of its kind in the CARIFORUM region. It should be used as a ‘quick reference’ source of information about the contact coordinates of key producer groups, supermarkets, restaurants, traders, exporters, agro-processors, and input suppliers involved in selected commodity-specific chains. For each of the 15 CARIFORUM countries, two commodities are covered, and include, roots and tubers (sweet potato, cassava, yam), small livestock (sheep, goat, pigs), vegetables (tomato), herbs and spices (hot pepper), fruits (pineapple), and honey. Information is also provided on major institutions that provide financing, information, and technical support services to operators within the chains. On behalf of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), and our APP Partners, the Caribbean Community Secretariat (CCS), and the Caribbean Agricultural Development and Research Institute (CARDI), I take this opportunity to recommend as many small holders and small-medium size enterprises in the CARIFORUM countries to make full use of this directory. I wish to acknowledge, and thank the European Union, the IICA staff, and all the service providers involved, for their significant contribution towards making this publication and its dissemination possible. Dr. Víctor M. Villalobos Director General Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture 4 Antigua and Barbuda Hot Pepper Each year, a relatively few farmers in Antigua and Barbuda produce one major crop of hot pepper, most of which is sold to local processors. While farmgate prices have remained relatively stable over the years, both farmers and processors face competition from imports of intermediary and consumer hot pepper products. Keen attention to the issues of farmers’ adoption of production protocols to improve crop agronomy, control pest/disease and post-harvest losses, water availability, praedial larceny control, and pricing, can significantly contribute to enhancing competitiveness and replacing 20-29,000 kg of imports per annum. Sweet Potato An estimated 40 farmers use traditional technology to cultivate approximately 80 hectares of sweet potato in Antigua and Barbuda. Two crops are produced each year, and sold to domestic retailers, restaurants, hotels, and a few food processors. While production cost is cited as relatively competitive, supplies from other Caribbean countries continue to meet unfulfilled domestic demand- which is at its highest in the first two quarters of the year. Investments in post-harvest control methods, and development of convenient value-added products, can contribute to significantly increasing local supplies to the market. 5 HOT PEPPER MAJOR PRODUCER GROUPS Susie’s Hot Sauce Contact person: Rosemarie Mc Master Agriculture Development Cooperation North Street, St. John’s, Antigua (ADC) T: (268) 461-0365/4052 Contact person: Twini I-Payne E: [email protected] Diamonds Estate, Antigua www.susieshotsauce.com T: (268) 562-1507; 463-2500 E: [email protected] MAJOR BUYERS - SUPERMARKETS G.

Comments and chapter of the Cold War global relations that remained frozen after the collapse of suggestions are invited. the Soviet Union. Relations between the West and Cuba represent a rescue of Cold War diplomacy and power relations. Whether the recent developments mark a break with this ideological quagmire and if the Cuba-EU agreement will overcome the deep-seated conditions that have frozen the relations up to this point are key questions to be debated as we discuss the future of Cuba in the world. Also crucial is to reflect on the implications of this for the Cuban model of governance and development. Repeatedly, the US intensified its efforts to bring Cuba to its knees, ensuring that the benefits of intense globalization after full-scale Cold War did not extend to this island state.

    LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN The EU’s relations with Latin America and the Caribbean are multifaceted and conducted at different levels. The EU interacts with the entire region through summits of the heads of state and government, while agreements and political dialogue bind the EU and the Caribbean, Central America, the Andean Community, Mercosur and individual countries. LEGAL BASIS — Title V (EU external action) of the Treaty on European Union; — Titles I-III and V (common commercial policy; development cooperation and humanitarian aid; international agreements) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. REGION-TO-REGION RELATIONS A. The summits The first summit between the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean was held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1999 and established a Bi-regional Strategic Partnership. The most recent biennial summit, held in June 2015 in Brussels, was the second between the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños, CELAC). The summits strengthen links between the two regions at the highest level and address issues on the bi-regional and international agendas. Debates have focused on topics such as democracy and human rights; fighting poverty; promoting social cohesion, innovation and technology; and the environment and climate change. The Brussels summit adopted a short political declaration, a longer declaration on the different aspects of the partnership and an EU- CELAC action plan, based on the priorities established by the recent

    The European Union Perception of Cuba: from Frustration to Irritation* Joaquín Roy

    RFC-03-2 The European Union Perception of Cuba: From Frustration to Irritation* Joaquín Roy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fidel Castro dramatically selected the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his failed attack against the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba on July 26, 1953, for his rejection of any kind of humanitarian assistance, economic cooperation, and political dialogue with the European Union (EU) and its member states, signalling one of the lowest points in European- Cuban relations.1 Just days before the anniversary of what later history would recognize as the prelude of the Cuban Revolution, the European Union’s Foreign Relations Council issued a harsh criticism of the regime’s latest policies and personal insults against some European leaders (notably, Spain’s José María Aznar), in essence freezing all prospects of closer relations. The overall context was, of course, the global uncertainty of the U.S. occupation of Iraq in the aftermath of the post-September 11 tension. Having survived the end of the Cold War and the perennial U.S. harassment, the Castro regime seemed to have lost its most precious alternative source of international cooperation, if not economic support. RESUMEN Fidel Castro escogió de manera espectacular la fecha de conmemoración del Aniversario 50 del fallido ataque al cuartel Moncada en Santigo de Cuba, el 26 de julio de 1953, para anunciar su rechazo a cualquier tipo de ayuda humanitaria, cooperación económica y diálogo político con la Unión Europea (UE) y sus estados miembros, lo cual marca uno de los niveles más bajos de las relaciones entre Cuba y la UE.

    EU trade with Latin America and the Caribbean Overview and figures IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Authors: Gisela Grieger and Roderick Harte Members' Research Service PE 625.186 – September 2018 EN This publication provides an overview of trade relations between the EU and Latin American and Caribbean countries and groupings. The EU has fully fledged agreements with two Latin American groupings (Cariforum and the Central America group), a multiparty trade agreement with three members of the Andean Community (Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru), and bilateral agreements with Chile and Mexico. Since November 2017, a new agreement governing trade relations with Cuba has also been provisionally applied. In addition, the EU is currently modernising its agreements with Mexico (with which it has reached an 'agreement in principle') and Chile. The EU also has framework agreements with Mercosur and its individual members (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay). The agreement with the former will be replaced, once the ongoing negotiations on an EU-Mercosur association agreement have been completed. This publication provides recent data on trade relations between the EU and Latin American and Caribbean countries and groupings, compares the main agreements governing trade relations that are already in place, and analyses the rationale behind the ongoing negotiations on the EU-Mercosur, EU-Mexico and EU-Chile agreements.

Makushi Travelogues from the Borderlands of Southern Guyana Lisa Katharina Grund Abstract This ethnographic account focuses on the conceptions and practices of movement, as narrated by the Makushi people who live along the triple frontier of southern Guyana. The journeys - individual experiences, in particular of women – depict visits to other Makushi communities, to their neighbours and cities in Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela. The travelogues disclose Makushi premises on knowledge and its acquisition: gender, age, temporality and alterity. Exploring these concepts in practice, the ethnography points out the value the Makushi attribute to their encounters with others, situations in which risk and unpredictability are creatively incorporated as part of their sociality. 3 Contents Acknowledgements 10 Introduction 12 Mobility in the Guianas 15 On Movement 18 Feminine voices 23 Fieldwork 24 The terminology of travel 26 Outline of chapters 28 Chapter 1 – Roads and Crossings: Experiences of Movement 30 The road 31 A line between poles 31 Through a line of
