Yes, that rings a bell. The industry there has been growing in the last few decades, if memory serves. I browse a awful lot of info -- can't remember it all, so thank you for the reminder.
Parts of equatorial Africa could maybe get into the act?
However, it can be difficult to import into Europe. Lots of red tape. They can be picky & demanding. The European Union was supposed to streamline things, turn it all into a one-stop-shopping-Bureaucracy as far as import-export regulations were concerned, but often ended up churning out regulations that were (virtually) priced by the ton, with seemingly significant portions of whatever overall benefits there were going to the rules writers in Brussels.
Those people lived in luxury, baby. Sweet. Good work if you could get it --- and all but answerable to no one but a few politicians not empowered to do much more than pitch a bitch (if they lacked leverage to directly twist enough arms). Brussels would keep churning out more and more regulations, accompanied with Euro version of "it's for the children" kind of rhetoric in defense of whatever they chose was "best".
I'm under the impression that such as I've just vaguely outlined is part of why the English voted Brexit.
