On this momentous occasion, the Government and People of Saint Lucia join in celebrating this extraordinary achievement of one of our leading manufacturers. To be the recipient of this highly acclaimed award from the International Taste and Quality Institute (iTQi) for its Pasta Sauce Product is not only an outstanding achievement for Baron Foods (St. Lucia) Limited but also for our Simply Beautiful Saint Lucia.    

As the company continues to expand its operations by having a regional presence, Baron Foods (St. Lucia) Limited continues to set high standards by being ingenious, forward-thinking and distinctive in its product delivery. These are qualities worth emulating as we seek to develop and diversify our local manufacturing sector to be better positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the global market. 

As the lead agency responsible for entrepreneurial development, the Department of Commerce takes pride in the successes of the private sector. The Department therefore encourages Baron Foods (St. Lucia) Limited to continue making its mark nationally, regionally and internationally by being "a cut above the rest" and a leader in the region's manufacturing sector, through its unique Caribbean brand.
