Belize boosts its beans
In 2000, Belize s bean exports reached t 2.6 million, mainly to CARICOM countries where beans are a staple food. With Brazilian support, the government has approved a US$10.5 million dollar project to develop the soybean industry, including expansion of its production, processing capacity and marketing. A pre-cleaning plant for black-eye and red kidney beans was inaugurated in Spanish Lookout in late February 2001 and negotiations have started to export beans to Jamaica.
