Information reaching the Stabroek Business from the Barbados-based Caribbean Export confirms that the Absolutely Caribbean ‘offering’ at the recently concluded Specialty and Fine Food Fair in London made a big impression alongside the various other high-quality offerings from other countries and regions.

Caribbean Export has informed this newspaper that the ten (10) Caribbean artisan producers showcased at the event, did the region proud in the course of offering a taste of the Caribbean to the 10,000-plus visitors who turned up to experience the international food and drinks trade fair.

Caribbean Export itself supported ten food and drink producers to participate at the Specialty and Fine Food Fair at the Olympia London, its gesture vindicated by the opportunity afforded by the event to ‘parade’ offerings from the region on a global stage.
