#JamaicaGleaner #TrackingBeryl #HurricaneBeryl #Hurricane #Pepper JULY 11, 2024: Andrew Gray, managing director of Gray’s Pepper Products Limited, a manufacturing company in Westmoreland says if electricity is not restored to his business, he stands to lose millions in raw material and international contracts in Canada and the United States. “I think some of these things maybe we’ll have to dump,” Gray said about several barrels of crushed scotch bonnet pepper sitting in his storeroom that was prepared for export less than 24 hours ahead of the passage of Hurricane Beryl, at Category 4.
