Part of world manufacturing camera and clarinet? (7,7)

I believe the answer is:

central america

'part of world' is the definition.

'manufacturing camera and clarinet?' is the wordplay.
'manufacturing' is an anagram indicator.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'camera' put after 'clarinet' is 'clarinetcamera'.
'clarinetcamera' anagrammed gives 'CENTRAL AMERICA'.

(Another definition for central america that I've seen is " country group".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
