Agriculture plays a significant role in the economies of Central America and the Caribbean as a source of employment and export revenue. The role of agriculture in the region is nothing new, yet the nature of the relationship has changed in the past century, particulary when one considers the gradual insertion of the region's agricultural production into global markets. This paper traces the ongoing globalisation of Central American and Caribbean agriculture by examining the role of technology and markets in underpinning output growth of a number of key crops, and the impact production of these export crops has had on regional land issues.
