The island is rich and ripe with vast un-tap organic produce for export, but yet agriculture and agricultural science is lacking in the scholastic curriculum so the youths are not exposed to modern day scientific farming. The island import food bill is forever staggering, much to the delight of some who has made their vast wealth from political patronage to secure the monopoly for the import of food permits, hence building their empire on the backs of poor and working class St Lucians for decades. In the early 2000’s during the continued era from the 1990’s of the one and only major supermarket chain the extrude populist of The UWP was quizzed about this practice, his response was “well I don’t think I am the only one buying foods, I am the only one who does it best” Now they sit in higher office feeding the farmers with their politricks to revived the farming industry, but instead backing their cliques on the same monopoly they made their wealth from and adding VAT on basic necessities poor people use daily to avoid their merchant friends from paying this tax. To the untrained eye and school of thought (Josie) what a tangled web they weave. Just like number forty six what do they know about the needs of the poor when they themselves have never been in the category of middle class.
