Case Study: Mr. Felix Cross, is a well-known and successful businessman who is involved in a variety of business ventures in Saint Lucia. One of those ventures is the largest coconut plantation in Saint Lucia, located in the Roseau Valley on the West Coast. Between the years 2012 to 2018 the plantation experienced a year-on-year increase in profitability as it had progressively become the largest supplier of coconuts to the many small businesses that plied their trade as road-side coconut water vendors.

The remaining nuts were laid to waste.…

However, the organization later found a village in Africa where people were more willing to sell their blood to the company at prices as low as fifteen cents a pint.…
