Central America and the Caribbean: Prospects for U.S. Agricultural Exports

Central America and the Caribbean, with their close geographical and economic ties to the United States, have always been an important market for U.S. agricultural exports.
In 2014, Canada remained the top destination for U.S. exports of high-value agricultural products, with a total of $17.2 billion.
Ecuador’s COMEX Resolution 011-2015 (March 6, 2015) will have a significant impact on U.S. consumer-oriented export products such as beef, pork, confectionary, and fresh fruits.
