    Ep 19: Has Protectionism Failed Us?

    Our host Collis Williams invites you to join the debate; protectionism or free trade?

    Ep 17: A 1:1 Conversation About Reviving The Manufacturing Sector In Barbados & The Wider CARICOM Region

    Listen in with host Collis Williams and former Technical Advisor to the CARICOM Secretariat’s Office of Trade Negotiations, Joel Richards, on how we can revitalize manufacturing in Barbados and the wider CARICOM region.

    Should we be looking at the core concept of manufacturing through a wider lens? Should we focus more on mass customization rather than mass production? Do we have the capacity to be a competitive manufacturing base on the world market?

    We tackle these critical questions and more, as we discuss some of the strategies that can be employed to ensure manufacturing in the Caribbean both survives and thrives.

    E-commerce consultant Roger Barrow deconstructs the current Caribbean e-commerce environment, offering insight into the history of the global e-commerce market and how it has limited our capacity to participate. We delve into how we can circumvent these limitations and outline specific ways that Caribbean people can swim with the current e-commerce tide instead of against it—one such method is by shifting our focus towards the service element of e-commerce trade instead of on the physical goods aspect.
