The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is delighted to invite you to attend our online webinar ‘Food and Drink Export Opportunities in the Caribbean’.

Why export to the Caribbean?

The Caribbean has much to offer given the historical links, shared language and similar legal and regulatory structures. Over 43.5 million Individuals reside on a total of 28 different island nations in the West Indies, each of which possess their own unique economic characteristics. In almost all cases, a politically stable environment can be found throughout the Caribbean.  Although every Caribbean nation has its own distinct economic features, there are a number of common characteristics shared among the different economies in the region. The UK continues to flourish across the Caribbean with total trade of £4.6b at the end of Q3 in 2022. British expertise is viewed favourably in the Caribbean with having high standards when it comes to education, food & drink, infrastructure and engineering technology amongst others.

During this webinar, delegates will hear expert advice from Kimberly Singh-Hanoman, Food and Drink Sector Lead for the Caribbean (DBT), Pauline Wade, Director for Darnley Whitecroft & Company and Sharon Stathers, International Trade Adviser (DBT).
