The recent intervention by eighteen former Latin American and Caribbean leaders seeking Washington’s removal of an economic blockade against Cuba that has been in force for more than half a century, reflects what is still an enduring region-wide mindfulness that Cuba deserves better, having once been the socio-economic ‘live wire’ of the region prior to the revolution that swept the Castro regime into power.

With the past year particularly, having presented the Caribbean with irrefutable evidence that its food security credentials are nowhere close to where we might have imagined them to be, the “early 2023” breaking of the ground for the creation of a seven-acre facility intended to serve as a food logistics hub and trans-shipment area for agricultural produce from Guyana to meet the needs of the region in times of crisis, has to be kept in sharp focus.
