The indigenous plant life of St. Vincent and the Grenadines provides numerous opportunities for investment in agro-processing. Arrowroot, for example, can be manufactured into powder, food starch and paper. Herbs can be used in medications, teas and cosmetics, while the coconut is useful in the making of soaps and essential oils.  Organic foods produced in St. Vincent and the Grenadines command premium prices on the world market. These islands are therefore a strategic choice for anyone wishing to invest in the agro-processing industry.
