Caribbean Free Trade Association
- Caribbean Free Trade Association
The Caribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA) had been organized to provide a continued economic linkage between the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean following the dissolution of the West Indies Federation which lasted from January 3, 1958 to May 31, 1962.
The Caribbean Free Trade Association was created to try to boost relations between the various Caribbean islands. One of the reasons of the formation of the CARIFTA was to increase the quota and variety of goods able to be sold. The association started an international youth athletics event for junior athletes from the member states called the CARIFTA Games.
In 1972 the CARIFTA was replaced by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
