Question

This was the first economy where sugarcane would become an export equal to, or perhaps even more lucrative than, tobacco:

Answer 1

Island of Barbados.

Step-by-step explanation:

Barbados is located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 2500km from Miami and close to other Caribbean islands such as Granada and Martinique. This island has about 430 km², 250,000 inhabitants, was a British colony and is part of the Commonwealth. Tourism is a strong driver of its economy today, but sugarcane production is traditionally local, and is the first place where sugarcane has become a crop of strong export equal to or perhaps even more profitable than tobacco.

Answer 2

It was "Barbados".

In 1642, Barbados was acquainted with sugar cultivating by the Dutch, and this turned into the new wellspring of income and has since turned into a noteworthy piece of Barbados' history. For quite a long time Barbados just utilized sugar for feedstock, as fuel and in the generation of rum, yet by 1644 the greater ranches were sending out sugar. Barbados at that point wound up a standout among the most appealing English colonies.
