Not many Jamaicans would believe that exporting items such as Ram Goat Soup and Ram It Up Curry Booster would be able to turn a profit in such a tough and competitive economic climate, but Brascoe Lee is no ordinary citizen. The former member of Parliament for South Trelawny and state minister in the Ministry of Agriculture managed to do the unthinkable in 2016 and exceeded US$400,000 worth of exports.
His manufacturing company, Spicy Hill Farms was established 10 years ago in the remote community of Wait-A-Bit, Trelawny, but the idea was developed decades earlier, while Lee was working in the agriculture ministry.
“I knew what Jamaica needed when I entered politics. It is all about creating products. We need more projects and products that can make headway internationally,” he said.
