Spur Tree Spices plans ackee orchard to strengthen supply

Spur Tree Spices Limited is planting roughly 3,000 ackee trees to secure its own supply of the fruit, as demand from overseas markets outpaces what its current suppliers can deliver, CEO Albert Bailey told the Financial Gleaner.
"Right now, the demand for ackee far outstrips the supply," Bailey said. "We're expecting that somewhere in the region of July to September, we'll see a very good ackee crop.”
