A man on a moped drives through a sugar cane field near Le Lamentin, Guadeloupe (french west indies)...Sugar and rum remained the economic backbone of many caribbean islands for many generations. In Guadeloupe, these industries' gradual decline has made room for tourism and banana growing. Both activities now suffer due to their relatively high costs, when compared to the neighboring islands or to central and south america...Guadeloupe and Martinique - the two main islands of the french caribbean - benefit from preferential economic access to the European Union, due to their status as overseas territories of France.
