Caribbean and Latin America Inbound Trade Mission

In partnership with Food Export Midwest/Northeast, we will be conducting a Caribbean and Latin America Inbound Trade Mission this year! Taking place in Miami, this annual mission is a great opportunity to meet one-on-one with Caribbean and Latin American buyers interested in your products. 

The Caribbean is an excellent market for U.S. suppliers due in large part to the fact that demand for imported food products is largely inelastic. The United States is the main supplier to the Caribbean of food products, largely in part on the strength of these favorable conditions. These factors make the Caribbean an attractive market for U.S. suppliers looking to expand their businesses abroad or take advantage of new opportunities in an emerging market. The Latin America value added for market is also very promising for US suppliers. US food products are sought after by consumers in these countries due to their health standards, quality and novelty. 

US suppliers that register with SUSTA for this activity will enjoy several benefits such as the opportunity to advertise their products through one-on-one meetings with buyers from the Caribbean and Latin America in Miami.
