| Caribbean countries have historically relied on agriculture as a source of food and foreign exchange. With increasing changes in global trading arrangements and partnerships, this paper assesses the changes in the production of crops, livestock and food per capita. It also reviewed total factor productivity measures of selected Caribbean countries, which were calculated using the Malmquist productivity indexes. It is shown that there was a wide variety of progress in agricultural productivity among the selected countries, however, for many, there has been a decrease in total factor productivity. The components of this productivity was also evaluated. |

| The commercial fishery that primarily targets king mackerel, stone crab, snappers, groupers and spiny lobster in Monroe and Collier counties is one of the most important commercial fisheries in Florida. These species currently face problems of overfishing and/or over capitalization. A dual-based restricted profit function is used to estimate the economic and technical interactions that exist in this multi-species fishery, primarily using own-price and cross-price elasticities of supply. It is found that the production technology does not exhibit input-output separability and nonjointness-in-inputs over all species groups. This result suggests that these key species may be more efficiently managed as a group, rather than with the use of existing single... |
