"For us in the Homestead [Florida] area, all agriculture is moving offshore for one reason or another," said Bill Schaeafer, president of C-Brand Tropical Inc. in Goulds, Fl.
Mr. Schaeafer credited Brooks Tropicals with developing a "wonderful idea" in going off-shore growing Maradol-like papayas - the Caribbean Red brand – from Belize. “When you buy ‘Caribbean Red’ out of Belize you get nothing but good quality." C-Brand buys and markets some of that fruit.
