Jamaican exporters and international buyers

Jamaica's export relationships include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, CARICOM markets, Japan and the European Union. Coffee, cocoa, pimento, yams and tropical foods are useful starting points for wholesale sourcing. Buyers in Africa can publish a specific import request and discuss feasibility with exporters; this guide does not imply an established shipping route or available stock.

Prepare a clear sourcing request

1. State the product, variety, fresh or processed form, quantity and destination.
2. Specify packaging, required documents, loading point and delivery terms; ask the seller to confirm price and availability.
3. For Blue Mountain coffee, request evidence supporting the claimed origin and product designation. For preserved foods, agree on composition, shelf life and destination requirements.

Farm equipment and irrigation

Explore equipment separately and ask suppliers whether they can deliver to Jamaica.
