Grenada
Grenada is traditionally known as the Island of Spice due to its production of nutmeg. It is a volcanic island with lush forested hills, picturesque waterfalls and extinct volcanic craters. Agriculture remains the prime economic sector, earning 81 per cent of total revenues.
Grenada is the most southerly of the Windward Islands, 135 km north of Trinidad. It has had full independence since 1974 but remains within the British Commonwealth.
Grenada remains highly dependent on traditional agricultural products. Its main export crops are nutmeg and mace, bananas and cocoa beans. Growth has been experienced in the manufacturing sector in the production of beer, cigarettes and soft drinks, and tourism also continues to expand.
Generous tax incentives are available, including up to a 15-year tax holiday.
Grenada has no railway. It has one major port at St George's and eight minor ports including Grenville in Grenada and Hillsborough in Cariacou. There is an international airport, Port Salines, near St George's.
