Selling products to customers overseas is the ambition of many entrepreneurs in Jamaica. This enables their business to earn foreign currency and expand the company’s footprint in another country. This is what international trade is all about.
Expanding exports is one of the many strategies being promoted by the Ministry of Industry Investment and Commerce in 2022.
The funny thing is, if we travel from Jamacia to our Caricom neighbours Trinidad and Tobago, entrepreneurs there are thinking about the same thing.
So much so that a delegation comprising 17 companies from Trinidad and Tobago, and high-level government officials recently visited Jamaica on a four-day trade mission. Their goal is to expand and promote bilateral trade between both countries.
