Central America Outbound Trade Mission to Guatemala

Guatemala is within the top 20 destinations for U.S. agricultural exports and is the second largest market in the CAFTA-DR region. In 2020, U.S. agricultural exports to Guatemala were valued at $1.2 billion. Guatemala represents a growing market for U.S. companies and is a country with relative economic stability. U.S. exports of agricultural products to Guatemala in 2020 remained steady at $1.2 billion, the same total reported in 2019. It is expected that some U.S. agricultural products exported to Guatemala in 2021 will have record export levels.
