Other than those mentioned there are a few minor industries utilising agricultural
products. Fruits and vegetables are canned, mainly for local use, and the canning of
sausages and bacon has recently started in Jamaica. In Jamaica, food manufacturing has
been projected to grow at a moderate rate. (See projections of the growth of the economy
of Jamaica. Table 3d.) Taking the area as a whole there is a fairly wide variety of food
processing industries, and we have not been able to deal separately with a number of the
minor ones.
