KINGSTOWN, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has exported a cargo of 110 pounds (49.8 kilos) of medical cannabis after receiving a license for export to Germany, according to official announcements and a local official familiar with the matter.

Saint Vincent, a Caribbean nation with a population of just over 110,000 people, has for years developed its local cannabis industry. In 2018, Saint Vincent created a state agency to oversee licensing and ensure its medical cannabis is available to local patients.

The shipment left on Jan. 18 and is expected to arrive in Germany on Jan. 19, said the official, who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

The cargo was sold by Caribbean Cannabis Company, which already markets several products locally, according to the source.

Caribbean Cannabis Company did not respond to a request for comment.

St Vincent Agriculture Minister Saboto Caesar said on Jan. 7 that Germany's Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices had approved a license for the shipment.

"St. Vincent and the Grenadines is ready for global business in the Medicinal Wellness Industry space," Caesar said, adding the government hopes to develop other wellness products including traditional medicines and the emerging field of psychedelic medicine.

He said it was the first medical cannabis export by a member of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, made up of 11 nations and overseas territories on the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea.

And finally, the culture of Curacao is rich and diverse, with a history that spans centuries. There is something for everyone on this beautiful island, so be sure to visit Curacao soon.

Oil refining industry

In the 1920s, Curaao became an important port for Venezuela due to its proximity and was home to many Venezuelan immigrants. This influx led them into entrepreneurship which created a significant portion of goods traded between both countries before World War II began but after it had ended they found themselves Boomicked out with no supplies or means by way on what to produce so most people depended heavily upon food shipments from abroad until 1948 when Sint Maartens newfound resources made it possible once more; this time Oil.

Other industries

An industry that has increased in recent years is gambling and by extension, casinos and sports betting, especially online. Curacao is home to some of the globes top gambling authorities, like Curacao eGaming and Curacao Antillephone.

Another industry that has shown a major increase, mainly due to an increase in tourism, is construction for hotels and resorts As Curacao becomes more popular, the tourism industry will continue to grow and with it, the need for new hotels and resorts. This is great news for those looking for work in the hospitality industry.

The other industries in Curacao include the financial sector, utilities, and logistics. The financial sector is a major employer on the island and is responsible for the majority of the GDP. The utility sector provides water, power, and telecommunications to the island, and the logistics sector is responsible for moving goods in and out of Curacao. These three sectors are essential to the operation of Curacao and contribute greatly to its economy.

Curaaos economy is based on agriculture, fishing, and forestry. Curacao has some calcium phosphate mining; salt was previously processed but now there are no large-scale businesses in this industry due to competition from China for example. Sugarcane farms were established by both Saint Martin as well Sint Eustatius however after overgrazing these crops became unproductive so new small-scale agricultural ventures including the cultivation of aloes for pharmaceutical products or oranges which can be used to make Curaaoan liqueur started up again creating jobs especially around harvest time when workers need employment most like construction work if youre looking online right now check out any one of our local contractors theyll find what your needs.

The largest industry in Curacao is tourism. Curaao is a hidden gem and quite possibly everything youve ever wanted out of a vacation destination. A rather provocative statement, however, wait till you see what that great Caribbean island has to provide you with everything from national parks, like Christoffel, known for its striking natural beauty, to some of the most incredible beaches in the Caribbean.

Nearly 700 pounds of suspected cocaine seized by the USS Milwaukee and Coast Guard law enforcement agents sits on the ship's flight deck Jan. 7, 2022. The seizure was made in the Caribbean Sea. (Danielle Baker/U.S. Navy)

The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy seized what they suspect is cocaine worth an estimated $22 million during a recent interdiction in the Caribbean Sea.

The littoral combat ship USS Milwaukee was involved in the Jan. 7 confiscation, which totaled roughly 700 pounds, U.S. 4th Fleet announced in a statement.

It is a good feeling knowing that a large number of drugs will not make it onto the streets of America or our partners in the Caribbean, Cmdr. Brian Forster, the Milwaukees commanding officer, said in the statement Wednesday.

The operation began when a patrol plane spotted a suspected drug smuggling boat, and the Milwaukee was directed to intercept.

The ship deployed its MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter and a rigid-hull inflatable boat, according to the statement.

The Coast Guard detachment saw packages being thrown into the water and then gained control of the boat. Coast Guard personnel recovered the packages from the water and five people were detained, the statement said.

The Milwaukee had deployed to the 4th Fleets area of operations to support Joint Interagency Task Force Souths mission, which includes interruption of drug trafficking in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean.

The U.S Department of State issued various high-level travel advisories on January 18, 2022, for several Caribbean countries.

These countries include but are not limited to the following: Bermuda, Jamaica, Saint Kitts/Nevis, Saint Lucia, and SaintMaarten.

These Level 4 Do Not Travel Advisories are focused on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the latest SARS-CoV-2 virus variant known as Omicron.

Additionally, the State Department issued Level 3 Reconsider Travel Advisories for countries such as Fiji, French West Indies, and Costa Rica.

Furthermore, COVID-19 continues to disrupt the cruise industry.

On January 14, 2022, Royal Caribbean International announced that "as a result of the ongoing COVID-related circumstances around the world, and in an abundance of caution," it would cancel sailing on the ship Independence of the Seas after Jan. 22.

Earlier in January 2022, Royal Caribbean canceled planned trips on the Symphony of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, and Jewel of the Seas cruise ships.

With COVID-19 infections accelerating in the Americas and the detection of the Omicron variant in at least 42 countries and territories in the region, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Director Carissa F. Etienne called on governments to ensure health workers have access to protective equipment and COVID-19 vaccines.

Overall COVID-19 vaccination coverage in Latin America and the Caribbean currently stands at almost 60%. Many countries, including Chile, Cuba, and Argentina, boast some of the highest coverage rates in the PAHO.

On January 12, 2022, Dr. Etienne stated in a media announcement warned that this new wave of infections wont be mild for our health systems.

In smaller island states, some hospitals were already strained by cases of the Delta variant, and now more hospitals face the prospect of being overwhelmed with Omicron cases, she added.

The PAHO Director also highlighted the rise in re-infections.

Over the past week, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic have experienced hikes in new SARS-CoV-2 infections, and increases are also being seen in Jamaica, Aruba, Curacao, and Martinique.

In Central America, Belize and Panama are reporting the highest incidence of COVID-19. And in South America, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay have increased cases by 300%.

The U.S. State Department suggests reviewing the U.S. CDC's specific recommendations for vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers for each country. If you decide to visit these countries, consider enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to receive Alerts and locate you in case of an emergency.

U.S. Discourages Visiting Caribbean Beaches this Winter - Vax-Before-Travel

Beyond the yachts and private jets, Canouan provides a luxury vacation at a more affordable cost.

If you are one of the few savvy travelers who have heard of Canouan, its probably in whispers as a billionaires getaway in the Caribbean. The small, crescent-shaped island is part of the Grenadines chain and is around five square miles. Only about a thousand residents call Canouan home, and few tourists have yet to discover the island paradise. While that might give the impression that Canouan is only for the one percent, it is also a destination worth exploring for mid-market travelers looking for an alternative to St. Barts.

One of the reasons for Canouans air of exclusivity is that there are no direct commercial flights onto the island. While some wealthy travelers fly directly on a private jet to Canouan, you dont have to stow away in their Louis Vuitton luggage to access the island. The cheapest way to get to Canouan is to fly into St Vincent Airport (SVD) and then take the 3 to 4-hour ferry ride for about $20. However, most visitors book a flight to the BGI airport in Barbados and then hop a small plane for the hour or so flight to Canouans picturesque local airport.

While there are plenty of gems to discover around Canouan, what is even more important is what you wont find on the island. There are no swarm of cruise ship passengers flooding the island every day and no tacky tourist shops with CANOUAN tchotchkes. The island may be surprisingly accessible for the mid-market traveler, but the island is far from the mass market.

For accommodation, travelers can choose to neither splurge on one of the luxury resorts or book an apartment stay. Since the island is so small, youre never too far from anything. Canouans rush hour is simply when turtles come out onto the road in the evening as it cools off, and you may need to carefully drive around them as they meander to their resting place for the night. Suppose you decide to rent an apartment instead of staying at a hotel. In that case, you can still get your palapa and pina colada fix by heading to Shell Beach, operated by Canouan Estates, and enjoy the perfect postcard beach resort while you eat lunch at the Shell Beach Bar and Grill.

There are luxury options abound on the island for discerning travelers seeking a world-class experience. The five-star Mandarin Oriental Canouan is the premier resort on the island, offering ocean-view suites starting at $880 a night. That price point comes with ample space, top-notch service, and access to their private jet. Even if you dont splash out for a suite at the Mandarin Oriental, heading to their Balinese-inspired spa is definitely worth the splurge. Theyve recently renovated two picturesque overwater bungalows in addition to the hillside rooms and offer spa treatments starting at $70.

The main draw of the Canouan is the nearby Tobago Cays, offering exceptional snorkeling and diving in the protected marine park. In addition to swimming with green turtles in the warm waters of the cays, the archipelago is home to five small uninhabited islands, including Petit Tabac, where Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp were deserted in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. But you dont have to be marooned to visit the islands. To experience the Tobago Cays, you could break the bank and rent a fully staffed yacht for the day or simply book a group snorkel trip to the marine park for less than $100 per person.

Back on the island, hiking up Mount Royal is Canouans most popular land-based activity. The free hike takes you to the highest point on the island, offering up panoramic views of neighboring islands St. Vincent, the Grenadines, and St. Lucia. Nearby, Canouans gorgeous (and often deserted) 18-hole golf course is designed by Jim Fazio. The 72-par course offers breathtaking views and is priced at $250 per player in the high season. Or, skip the golf and head straight to dinner at LAnce Guyac, a romantic nearby beach restaurant.

While Canouan isnt likely to see rapid development anytime soon, a Soho House Hotel has recently opened on the island, and small changes may be in store for quiet Canouan. But, as long as there are no direct flights, this Caribbean destination will stay off the itinerary for most visitors looking for a quick holiday getaway. Instead, Canouan will remain a voyage for both elite vacationers and the intrepid traveler seeking an off-the-beaten-track slice of paradise.

The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita sounds like another entry into the canon of celebrities filming lighthearted travel shows with their parents. But this BBC two-parter was significantly more interesting than its title suggested.

Mother-daughter presenting duo Andi and Miquita Oliver were born in west London and although their family is originally from Antigua, both have struggled to connect with their Caribbean heritage.

Inspired by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement to explore their roots, the women set off on a soul-searching mission across the Atlantic.

Against the most turquoise of seas, they reunited with family members (both those who had always lived in Antigua and those who had relocated from the UK) and tried to make sense of their dual identities while exploring the history of Antigua and its sister island, Barbuda.

Both Olivers were, as to be expected, utterly charming natural, funny and admirably open about their own internalised racism. As Andi said, if everything in your life tells you that the way you look is wrong you start to feel like you are wrong.

On their respective quests to understand where they come from, and therefore who they are today, it was particularly moving to see Miquita glowing with happiness as she absorbed her surroundings and her ancestry, and admitted that her younger self had rejected her blackness, partly thanks to a lack of role models who looked like her.

Thirsty for knowledge, they learnt about the legacy of slavery, the Rastafarian movement, the devastation of Hurricane Irma and the British immigrant experience.

Their conclusion that being British women of Antiguan heritage was a f***ing great thing to be and the accompanying joyous, cathartic skinny dip in the bay in honour of Andis grandmother Mama, completed a beautiful, poignant and profoundly personal journey.

A new initiative will catalyze seed systems development in Haiti and Senegal and sustainably deliver agricultural research outputs to farmers at-scale.

The ILCI-Caribbean-Atlantic Seed Systems Initiative (CASSi) led by the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement (ILCI), in partnership with Seed Systems Group, Quisqueya University in Haiti and Institut Sngalais de Recherches Agricoles (ISRA) in Senegal will strengthen alliances between researchers and farmers to effectively get improved seeds into the market.

Haiti and Senegal are an ocean apart geographically but share two things in common: chronically low crop yields among smallholder farmers and a dependency on rain-fed, smallholder agriculture to supply the bulk of food and income. Climate change has posed additional challenges to delivering staple food security crops, with severe droughts in Senegal and frequent and devastating storms in Haiti.

Pirates of the Caribbean debuted in 2003 as a commercially successful film despite low expectations. The adventurous and exciting swashbuckling plot combined with eccentric characters vastly contributed to the franchises victory at the box office. One of its major ensemble characters is the antihero, Jack Sparrow.

While Jack Sparrows unconventional personality is the main attraction, fans could also notice how he does not fit the Prince Charming category. Throughout the movies, he has been romancing different female characters who ended up becoming his old flame or newfound enemy. There might have been more, but heres a list of the captains known love interests:

These were the two ladies that Jack Sparrow met in Tortuga who both ended up having an affair with him. Jack proposed to Giselle by giving her a ring with red gemstone, and upon realizing that the man was serious about his proposal, she immediately dressed up for their wedding.

As she went to the dressing room, she saw Scarlett with the same ring. Furious and dumbfounded, and realizing that they were two-timed, both of them confronted Jack. The pirate received a resounding slap in the face.

Although Zoe Saldana did not make any recurring appearance after this, she made certain that it is something Jack Sparrow will never forget. Anamaria greeted Jack with a hard smack on the face, suggesting that they had a not-so-good history.

Anamaria was a great sailor, and her attempting to join aboard the Motley crew in the Interceptor was to remind Jack of what he stole and never returned. To pacify the enraged woman, he promised to give her the Interceptor as a replacement for the stolen boat.

It was clear from the beginning that Elizabeth Swann and Jack Sparrow have this strange chemistry. She tried to lure him into thinking that she fancies the pirate, which turned out to be just a part of her cunning plan.

Their relationship is indeed platonic (more like chaotic) even after she let him kiss her. After all the adventures that they have been through, both of them are still willing to sacrifice one another to save themselves. A classic example would be Elizabeth cuffing Jack Sparrow to the ship as a sacrifice to the Kraken.

Tia Dalma, or Calypso, is the sea goddess that sailors both loved and feared. It was implied that she and Jack Sparrow shared a romantic history due to her willingness to help out seafarers.

Although they did not totally brush through their short-lived past, Tia Dalma and Jack have no plans of rekindling their long-extinguished lovers flame. She, however, still show quite the amicable affection by accepting favors from the rogue pirate.

Despite all the aforementioned characters being Jacks old flames, Angelica is the only one that particularly received the status of a true love interest. The daughter of Blackbeard was introduced in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as a relentless pirate. Her only one goal in life is to save her fathers soul from eternal damnation.

She mastered the art of the con from when she and Jack engaged in both love and piracy affairs. While together, they both lie or double-cross each other. What a fascinating couple they were!
