Jamaica: Exploring Market Potential for United States Pork in Jamaica

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JM2025-0001
Jamaica’s pork market is valued at an estimated $40 million per year. While domestic production meets household and retail demand, it falls short of supplying the total market. High-demand pork variety meats, such as tails and bellies—primarily imported from Canada and Ireland—highlight these supply gaps. Currently, U.S. pork exports to Jamaica are limited to hermetically sealed (canned) products. Expanding market access to include U.S. fresh and frozen pork would help alleviate persistent supply shortages on the island.
