The pimento plant is native to Jamaica and is a major agricultural crop which is exported mainly to Russia, Germany and the U.S.A. The Spaniards named it Pimienta de Jamaica. Today it is widely known as Allspice-a combination of many spices. Pimento is widely used in the meat curing and in the confectionery and food processing industries. Also the berries and the oil distilled from the leaves are commercially valuable

Buff Bay
Some consider the town centre of Buff Bay, a small seaside community on Jamaica’s north-east coast to be one of the best laid out towns on the island. Within the town there are a number of modest representations of nineteenth century architecture including the interesting St Georges’ parish church on the seaward side of town. The Buff Bay river and Spanish river valleys inland from the town make up one of the most fertile agricultural regions on the island, cultivated diligently by hundreds of small coffee and banana farmers. For travellers heading west, Buff Bay marks the first of a series of small picturesque bays ideal for surfing and fishing.
