He indicated that Starbucks would be utilising Jamaican Blue Mountain and High Mountain coffee in their products manufactured locally. This, the Minister added, would ultimately redound to the benefit of Jamaica and the American firm. Bartlett indicated that Starbucks’ move to commence local operations was consistent with the Government’s growth agenda targeting increased investments. Last week, Starbucks announced that it had entered into a geographic licensing agreement with Caribbean Coffee Traders Limited, a consortium led by Margaritaville Caribbean Group. The agreement grants Caribbean Coffee Traders Limited the exclusive rights to own and operate Starbucks stores in the country.
