Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - Independence Day: October 27, 1979

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines gained independence from Britain on October 27, 1979, after centuries of colonial exploitation in sugar and banana farming. Post-independence, the country has struggled with economic dependency on agriculture, natural disasters, and the impact of volcanic eruptions.
We offer Arrowroot Starch and Cassava products, staples in Saint Vincent’s cuisine and economy. These traditional ingredients, used in dishes like "Cassava Bread," reflect the island’s cultural resilience. Montego’s stands in solidarity with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as it deals with the challenges posed by volcanic activity and economic vulnerabilities linked to its colonial past.
