Distributors of Jamaican products in the US, Canada and the UK say demand for Jamaican-made items is high, but exporters must meet the standards required for entry into the different markets. Overseas distributors are, therefore, urging local manufacturers to provide products with long shelf life and world-class packaging to maintain and increase market share. According to the Business Development Director of Dees Imports Ltd., Heather Chevannes, beverages, syrups, seasonings, ackee, and callaloo are among the Jamaican products that do well in the UK. She noted, however, that a product’s shelf life is always a concern when exporting food to the UK. “ All the products that we take from Jamaica must travel well,” she said.

Kalkuhl et al. (2016) studied the effects of food price fluctuations on small-scale farmers. According to the analysis, local farmers are especially vulnerable to changes in food prices because they frequently need more tools and expertise to manage these changes. The case suggests that by promoting price stability and supplying more dependable markets for small-scale farmers' crops, policies and interventions focused on lowering food price fluctuations can benefit them. These policies could entail boosting financial support for small-scale farmers through trade policies, expanding access to banking services, and increasing investments in agricultural research and development. Based on the passage above give a short explanation of what the passage intends for the reader?
