WELCOME
Welcome to the latest edition of the Trinidad and Tobago Export Directory, a comprehensive tool designed to provide potential investors and business persons with information on the goods and services available in the country. Indeed, the Export Directory has been designed to function as the leading resource to advise foreigners on the wide range of products that can be sourced and services that are provided for those wishing to conduct business in Trinidad and Tobago.
This updated CD 2009 contains an overview of the economy, profiles on the trade, investment and industrial climate in Trinidad and Tobago and of course a comprehensive listing of businesses. The data has been structured to provide detailed information categories such as export products by category, brand names, market segments, names of company managers and size of corporate operations.
Over the last few years, Trinidad and Tobago has emerged as one the most successful Caribbean economies and we are widely viewed as a preferred destination for investment and business opportunities. The Export Directory will provide critical linkages between international businesses and local firms, and at the same time promote the growth and competitiveness of our local private sector.
Indeed, Trinidad and Tobago is at the forefront of the CARICOM region in manufactured goods and services. Our strategic location as a hub for South, Central and North America offers a unique vantage point for investors, who will also benefit from access to these markets through our range of bilateral trade agreements. In addition, Government is committed to partnering with its stakeholders in the local and international private sectors to promote a business-friendly environment, pursue fair trading practices at the multilateral level, provide a range of incentives and enhance current legislation to support investment activities.
These are exciting times to conduct business with Trinidad and Tobago, as we transform our economy, building on our considerable strengths developed in the energy sector as we take our place in the global trading arena. These developments dovetail perfectly with Government’s stated objective of achieving developed country status by the year 2020. Please peruse this document thoroughly and we do hope you can establish business linkages with some of the companies listed here. We warmly welcome all prospective investors to participate in one of the most dynamic economies of the region – Trinidad and Tobago!
