It was initially an experiment intended to troubleshoot a supply shortage Grace Kennedy was experiencing.\u00c2&nbsp; Benjamin was contracted to grow scotch bonnet peppers, and with two acres of land, she rolled out a fully organic, best practice set up.\u00c2&nbsp; The experiment proved to be several times more bountiful than imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was amazing,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.\u00c2&nbsp; What I made in three months of reaping, I was making in a year of salary at Grace, and they paid me really well.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by her success, Benjamin resigned from Grace to run Benlar Foods fulltime.\u00c2&nbsp; She strategized on how she could increase yield, and grow produce efficiently, and she shared the knowledge gained with other farmers in her community, eager to ensure they too could reap her level of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wanted to increase the availability of authentic Jamaican products,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Benjamin said.\u00c2&nbsp; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sometimes you hear, oh, I am not getting the authentic jerk seasoning anymore from Jamaica.\u00c2&nbsp; I have an issue with that because our country is known for its food and spices, so I feel the need to protect that,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a year in business, Benjamin landed a major contract with Burger King.\u00c2&nbsp; It proved to be the stepping stone toward developing a sustainable business model.\u00c2&nbsp; She scaled up production, created new products and launched Benlar-branded spices, all with a view toward strengthening brand Jamaica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scaling up and going global<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With four years of business under their belt, and six major contracts, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s next for Benlar Foods?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have just incorporated an e-commerce platform, which facilitates trade by enabling them to drop shipments in different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Benlar-packaging-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Benlar-packaging-3-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-243907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Benlar-packaging-3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Benlar-packaging-3-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Benlar-packaging-3.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Organic prepared foods are next on their list of offerings, and they are setting up an agro processing facility to facilitate this.\u00c2&nbsp;

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is key to continued learning and evolution.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The knowledge she gained through her enrolment in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bransoncentre.co\/caribbean-technology-solutions-on-the-rise\/\">Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship<\/a>, and her selection for President Barrack Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <a href=\"https:\/\/ylai.state.gov\/\">Young Leaders of the Americas initiative<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/export-development\/we-xport\/\">Caribbean Export\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s WE-Xport programme<\/a> have been priceless and she continues to reap the benefits to date.\u00c2&nbsp; The programmes exposed her to how top US conglomerates manage fresh produce and distribution across several states, assisted her with developing a strategic action plan, and exposed her to a network of over 245 entrepreneurs from Latin America and the Caribbean with whom she exchanges ideas daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You must network with entrepreneurs across the region.\u00c2&nbsp;
