Most visitors to the Caribbean are rich.Like the plantation owner. They do not realize or do not want to realize that many farm families barely managed to get by on what they grow.The Caribbean produces many things.Sugar is the main product. Other export crops are tobacco coffee, bananas, spices, and citrus fruits, such as orange lemon or grapefruit.
From the west Indies also come oil,mineral pitch, and many forest products. Jamaica's aluminum or supplies are the world's largest. Oil comes from Trinidad, Aruba and Carolco, but for many of the smaller islands, sugar is the only export.Rum,a strong alcoholic. We just distilled from sugar cane is also an export.
