Summary
Barbados is running out of silica sand and aggregate, forcing it to turn to Suriname for critical construction materials—and that’s just the start. With domestic supplies dwindling, Barbados is forging a new economic partnership with its CARICOM neighbor, reviving stalled talks and exploring joint ventures in mining, oil, gas, and renewables. This isn’t just about sand—it’s about securing future growth through deeper ties with Suriname, resurrecting the Brokopondo Agreement, and turning shared history into concrete benefits.
