Trade Board Launches ‘Export Jamaica’ Platform, New Logo

• The Jamaica Trade Board Limited has launched a new trading platform that will better enable local manufacturers and exporters to unlock and take advantage of business opportunities across the globe.
• The online platform, dubbed ‘EXPORT Jamaica’, will provide businesspeople with information to identify and enter new markets and successfully promote and sell their products.
• The website will allow users to obtain information on import and export compliance requirements, access tools to aid in the calculation and conversion of customs duties and form meaningful connections through business directories, tradeshows, and marketplaces. It is designed for exporters, potential suppliers and manufacturers, and government entities.
• ‘EXPORT Jamaica’ is another major achievement for the Jamaica Trade Board Limited, with a vision to lead in the provision of vital market intelligence that plays a pivotal role in supporting Jamaican businesses as they ambitiously expand into markets around the world. That’s according to the Minister Hill. He noted that micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) will benefit from the platform, as they will be able to export to larger companies and markets.
• The Minister urged manufacturers, irrespective of the size or niche, to embrace the potential of EXPORT Jamaica and appealed to larger companies to invest in smaller Jamaican businesses and purposely trade with them using online platforms like EXPORT Jamaica to strengthen the economy.
• The launch also included the introduction of the new Trade Board logo as part of the rebranding of the agency to reflect a renewed commitment to enhancing trade services, particularly export, and facilitating the growth of Jamaican businesses
