The Caribbean Region as a whole represents a market of about 43 million people who collectively imported over $20.9 billion of U.S. goods in 2016. As a result, the region is the 3rd largest export market for U.S. manufactured goods in Latin America behind only Mexico and Brazil. The six-part "Opportunities in the Caribbean Region" Webinar Series will provide valuable insights to new and experienced exporters who will gain knowledge of the export opportunities in this dynamic region.

Why EXPORT to Barbados?
Barbados enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in the region and an investment climate which benefits from its political stability and stable institutions. Offshore finance and information services are important foreign exchange earners and thrive from having the same time zone as eastern US financial centers and a highly educated workforce.
Best prospect sectors for US exports include:
Construction and Building Products; Consumer Goods; Agricultural Products and Equipment; Renewable Energy Technologies and Hotel and Restaurant Equipment
Participant expectations:
Webinar participants will learn about business opportunities and best prospect sectors in Barbados, as well as the legal consideration when exporting to the Caribbean Region.

Why EXPORT to the Bahamas?
The Bahamian economy is driven by tourism and financial services. The Bahamas imports nearly all of its food and manufactured goods from the United States, and U.S. goods and services tend to be favored by Bahamians due to cultural similarities and exposure to U.S. advertising. There are no significant barriers to trade in The Bahamas. The Bahamas is currently reviewing proposals for alternative energy sources. This is expected to create opportunities for foreign direct investment in the energy industry.
Best prospect sectors for US exports include:
Hotel/Tourism; Franchise; Construction Equipment and Supplies; Consumer Products; and Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Products
Participant expectations:
Companies will learn more about the best prospect sectors, financial and legal considerations, and marketing strategies. Participants will also understand and appreciate the cultural differences, economic conditions and technological capabilities of the Bahamas.
