The Island of Jamaica, lying in the northwest of the Caribbean Archipelago, is experiencing a critical stage in its economic development. The welfare of the island depends almost entirely on land utilization, and it is to a peculiar degree dependent on the soil. There are no manufactures based on imported raw materials, and the minor manufacturing industries are merely the processing of agricultural products. Moreover, there are no considerable exports other than agricultural commodities. At the same time, farming is in a backward condition.
