Photo TriniGourmet.com LOCATING IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO Two multinational food companies have located in Trinidad for similar reasons. P. R. Trinidad Ltd is a subsidiary of French drinks group Pernod Ricard. The 100 employee company extracts anise oil, which is used as flavouring, from the leaves of anise bushes planted on land leased at a low rent from the government. Before deciding on Trinidad as the best location, the company 'looked first at the economic and political stability of the country,' reported the operations manager. 'Trinidad also enjoys the right climate for lena anise production and we found a large area of flat land suitable for its production, he added. Other reasons given this location decision were the well-trained workforce with a good supply of qualified technicians from the local university. The company is planning some joint ventures with other local businesses - so the existence of other businesses in the drinks industry was an important factor in moving to Trinidad too. Coca-Cola recently opened a bottling plant in Trinidad and employs 350 staff there. The flow production method is used with much automated machinery. The demand for soft drinks in the Caribbean is high all year round. The general manager Bob Ramchand believes that the government is in favour of private sector industry and supports it. Many of the qualified young professionals in the Caribbean come from the University of West Indies and this was important to us.' Trinidad is a member of the regional free-trade area known as CARICOM. Membership allows free trade between members for goods manufactured on the island. Many of the other countries in the region are too small to have the resources needed for a large operation such as Coca-Cola. 'I believe that in the long term the decision will prove to be an even better one as the CARICOM area opens up more and more and Trinidad is well located to supply all of its members,' added Mr Ramchand
