Caribbean & Central American Virtual Trade Mission 2021

Nov 1 - 4, 2021
Monday-Thursday
Virtual
Inbound Mission

The Caribbean value-added food market is characterized by a strong dependence on foreign food products, especially from the United States due to the region’s little arable land, limited supply of water, and no economies of scale and economies of experience. Furthermore, the proximity between some of these Caribbean countries and the US also boosts demand for US value added food products. In 2018, the United States exported over $1 billion in U.S. consumer-oriented products to the Caribbean Basin, or 53 percent of the market share.The inelastic demand for imported food products in the Caribbean makes it an excellent market for U.S. exporters.

The Central American value added for market is also very promising for US suppliers. US food products are sought after by consumers in these countries due to their health standards, quality and novelty. Since the exercise of CAFTA-DR bilateral trade between the US and Central America (and the Dominican Republic) has increased. A trade treaty between Panama and the US, which came into effect in 2012, has also simplified requirements for the importation of US food products.

US suppliers that register with SUSTA for this activity will meet with buyers from these regions virtually to discuss your products and explore current market conditions from the safety of your home or office!
