Plantation owners in the Caribbean were primarily concerned with maintaining profitability, which depended heavily on the labor-intensive production of cash crops like sugar and tobacco. They faced challenges such as the high cost of enslaved labor, the threat of slave revolts, and fluctuating market prices for their products.

Natural disasters like hurricanes also posed a significant threat to their agricultural operations.
