Caribbean Basin: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional Annual
The Caribbean Basin region has a robust and competitive hotel/restaurant/institutional (HRI) sector. Tourism is a major economic driver, accounting for nearly 9 million visitors in 2023, almost 50 percent of which arrived from the United States, powering a strong demand for U.S. consumer-oriented products. Some of the best prospects for exports include poultry meat (e.g., eggs), bakery goods, beef products, non-alcoholic (e.g., juices), and food preparations.
