3 Caribbean Farming Limited a short introduction The Caribbean Farming Group is doing agro business in Belize, Central America. The Group started its activities in Belize in 1986, and since then the operation in Belize has grown extensively. The holding company Caribbean Farming has established itself with several Belizean companies, which today owns and operates 11 farms and other productions in Belize, on a total area of approx of land, out of which approx are cultivated with mainly bananas, citrus and shrimp. In 1986 the Caribbean Farming Group purchased Monkey River Estate, then known as The Mango Farm. With more than 1000 of mango it was at the time the biggest privately owned mango farm in Latin America. For a couple of years Monkey River Estate was run with the purpose of exporting fresh fruit and producing mango pulp for juice, and 500 of new mangoes were established. When this proved not to be a profitable business, the mangoes were processed and exported as dried fruit. In October 2001 the 1500 mango plantation was totally destroyed by Hurricane Iris, and it can never be recovered. Very early the holding company Caribbean Farming invested in the establishment of 4000 of citrus and 400 of bananas at Monkey River Estate. Now Monkey River Estate is known for its pioneering effort in transforming the former pine ridge into a low cost, but well established citrus farm. Toledo Citrus Company, a subsidiary of Caribbean Farming, now grows of citrus with mainly Valencia oranges. At present the fruit is sold to the local citrus company for juice production. The plantation suffered severe damage from Hurricane Iris in October The entire crop was lost, all trees lost the leaves and many branches were broken and twisted, and all trees suffered damage to the root system the plantation was set back 2 to 3 years. In 2002 around 10 % of the plantation was replanted. By now the plantation is recovering, and is expected to be back to the production level of 2001 before the hurricane in the crop year During the years the Caribbean Farming Group has invested seriously in banana production, which is the cornerstone of the Group s business in Belize. Several well established farms were purchased and new plantations were established. At present the Group owns and operates 8 banana farms, and with approx of bananas, the Caribbean Farming Group produces nearly 40% of the country s bananas for export.
4 The bananas are AAA-quality, and for more than 15 years the total production has been sold through the local Banana Growers Association on a long term contract to Fyffes. In October 2001 all the Group s farms in Belize were directly hit by Hurricane Iris, a very forceful hurricane which destroyed the banana production in southern Belize. During 4 th quarter of 2001 and the year 2002, a concentrated and professional effort has been done, and the total area of bananas has been reestablished. Toledo Fish Farming started shrimp production in 1995 at Monkey River Estate. At present the company is producing shrimp from 600 of saltwater ponds, with 1-2 harvests per year. The shrimps are sold to local processors and exporters - either as head-on (a demanding quality which is sold to the European market) or as 1st quality tailsonly for the US market. Belize has maintained a relatively disease free environment and has implemented controls for those diseases occurring in the region, and the discipline of the producers is high. A challenge to Toledo Fish Farming and other producers in Belize is to produce more efficiently and to be able to do profitable business in a very competitive world market. Besides these main productions, the Caribbean Farming companies grow other crops such as cassava for human consumption and also for shrimp feed. Furthermore it runs a smaller logging- and sawmill operation. A related company owns of forest land in the Southern part of Belize. This area with secondary forest was bought with the intention to clear part of the land, cut and sell the timber, to start a new agro-industrial division with bananas and shrimp, and to keep part of the land as a biological reserve. The hurricane destroyed most of the forest area, and Caribbean Farming was forced to focus all economic and human efforts on reestablishing the profit producing business in Belize. With 1500 people employed the Caribbean Farming Group is the most important farm enterprise in Southern Belize, and the companies are respected for their positive influence on the economic and social development in Toledo District.

Iris may 2003 Hectares Boxes In October 2001 the farms of the Caribbean Farming Group were directly hit by the forceful hurricane Iris. Just before Iris the Group was in the best position ever with 2 newly acquired farms, Farm 2 and Farm 6, and several hundred of newly established meristem bananas which were just beginning to harvest. Hurricane Iris totally destroyed the plantations and there were no income generating production within the group for some time to be. A huge re-investment project was implemented from day one and during 2002 in record-time, planned and organized with great professional skill and a lot of dedicated work from the management team and all the employees in Belize, and by the end of 2002 the total acreage of 2400 of bananas was reestablished, with one third of that area replanted with meristem plants, partly in a crop timing system to better satisfy market demands. Though the banana farms were covered by insurance, it only covered part of the expenses, and the Caribbean Farming Group incurred direct or indirect losses as a consequence of the hurricane of over US$ 8 million on top of the amount recovered from the insurance companies. The local banks and financial institutions were generally very supportive, and allowed grace on principal payments. The Group obtained new lending in 2002 and 2003 from local banks to finance the aftermath of Hurricane Iris, which of course adds to debt burden of the local companies. The employment of all employees continued after the hurricane, nobody lost their job, but many had the workweek reduced to 4 days for a period of time. At present the companies employ 1500 people full time. During 2003 the bananas have come back in production and the first half of 2003 saw the highest production ever in a 6 month period in the company s history.
