WHILE THE sharp decline in sugar price on the world stage is now creating anxiety among several African, Caribbean and Pacific states, Jamaica is being spared from the jitters, thanks to its lucrative three-year deal with the British refiner Tate & Lyle, which will be in place until the end of the year.
