Thanks for visiting and taking the t...The Goddards,<br />Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment. I was aware that chocolate was made in Trinidad and Tobago. Before I emigrated, there was a nascent cottage industry. What I was commenting on was that as far as I knew chocolatiers were not significantly impacting the food import bill. To what extent had local production diminished the import of chocolate [candy] made abroad? As for our primary product dependency, after all this time for instance, it was not until last year that local processing of the beans on a significant scale was begun by <a href="http://www.confectionerynews.com/Manufacturers/Cocoa-processing-comes-to-Trinidad-and-Tobago-for-first-time" rel="nofollow">Trinidad and Tobago Fine Cocoa Company</a>. Where were most of the raw materials for the local industry coming from before this development? But better late than never. Apart from that I am certainly glad to hear that cocoa production and downstream industries are strengthening. In time local chocolatiers and chocolate makers may very well dominate the local market. Le cacao est roi!<br />Blessings<br />GuanaguanareGuanaguanarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633889363662650322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22112793.post-5215280196200170892016-05-08T10:55:39.007-04:002016-05-08T10:55:39.007-04:00Just updating you that thre is lots of locally mad...Just updating you that thre is lots of locally made, high quality chocolate now in TT.
