FT 12,712 - March 10

Two clues, the answers for which I'd love an explanation.
10a Corn transported from tropic island (5) C?P?I
Looks like it should be Capri, but why? It's not an anagram of tropic with the "t" from transported removed; it is an island, though I'd question whether it's a tropical island; and I can't find a reference to a Capri type of corn/cereal.
23d Snare quickly set up on top of embankment (5) N?O?E
Looks like it should be Noose, but again, why? I know a noose is a type of snare; "e" can be the reference to the embankment; and I suppose "Noo" could be quickly.
Am I missing something very obvious? Any indicators greatly appreciated.
