  Stop tickling yourself. In the past the main businesss that existed was Valco importing Jamaica Bauxite to be turned into Alumina for the US market. That business no longer exist because we no longer have cheap energy for VALCO.
  
  There is no business available for goods. The Jamaican market of 3million people is too small for any meaningful product investment from Ghana to yield profit. Then better concentrate on Togo.
  
  Whete there is an advantage for both countries is in the area of Trade in Services. Education Services, health services, Sports, Cultural Geritage Services in Films, Documentaries etc. This is where value lies with small enterprises including IT.
  
  Beyond that distance and market size does not encourage any product exports from Ghana or vice versa to yield any profitable venture between Ghana and Jamaica.
