Saying good-bye to St. Lucia. Ending our week vacation at Sandals Grande St. Lucian which was the perfect getaway. We had a wonderful time but now it's time to go Miami for a few days before finally ending our trip. Caribbean temperatures are warm year-round. Daytime average: 82°F, 28°C. Nighttime average: 72°F, 22°C.
Economy: Agriculture, forestry, and fishing
Sugarcane was formerly the chief crop, but production ceased entirely in 1964, when most of the cane fields were converted to banana cultivation. Bananas are now the principal crop. Other crops are coconuts, cacao, citrus and other fruit, spices, cassava, and yams. There is a steady local fishing industry.
Manufacturing: Saint Lucia’s manufacturing sector has been a major beneficiary of the U.S. Caribbean Basin Initiative, a program designed to promote manufacturing in the region. An industrial free zone has been established in the south of the island near Vieux Fort; there factories produce and export electronic goods and toys. Other industries produce cardboard cartons, clothing, rum, tobacco products, coconut products, concrete blocks, and beer. Tourism has developed rapidly since 1970; in 1987 a complex for cruise ships was opened near Castries.
Trade: The chief exports are bananas, cardboard cartons, clothing, coconut products, and electronic goods. Saint Lucia’s major trading partners are the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, Barbados, and Dominica. Imports include food, fuels, and manufactured goods.
