Jamaica: Exporter Guide Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JM2025-0003
In 2024, the United States retained its position as the leading exporter of agricultural and related products to Jamaica, exporting approximately $650 million in bulk, intermediate, and consumer-oriented goods. Jamaica’s strong tourism sector, combined with domestic demand, continues to make it a ripe market for U.S. suppliers, particularly for consumer-oriented products. In 2024, U.S. consumer-oriented products, which accounted for nearly 46 percent of total U.S. sales to Jamaica and rose 2 percent year-on-year, represented the largest product category with over $290 million in shipments.
