Generating foreign exchange is critical to Barbados’ economic recovery. Expanding exports in existing markets like Belize will assist in this effort. Belize offers potential opportunities given its membership of the Caribbean Community, proximity to the United States, English speaking population and ability to attract tourists.

This report is intended to serve a two-fold purpose:

• Provide detailed product and market information for BIDC and manufacturers/ service providers on the opportunities which exist in the market
• Provide the basis for further market development and penetration with a follow-up trade mission later in 2019 by the BIDC’s Export & Business Development Division.
