2015 Fresh Produce Inbound Trade Mission from Central America

Central America: The United States trade agreement with the Dominican Republic and Central America (CAFTA) has facilitated international business between Central America and the U.S. by reducing tariffs on almost 80 percent of U.S. products. Central America, in particular, remains a significant market for fresh fruit exports from the Western U.S. with $88 million in 2014 sales alone – surpassing both the European Union and Southeast Asia regions. Guatemala, Costa Rica and El Salvador are the top export destinations within Central America. Leading fresh fruit exports include grapes, apples and tree fruit.

Benefits of Participating:

• Meet one-on-one with pre-qualified buyers
• Highlight your product and obtain direct insight/feedback from experienced importers
• Introduce your products to over 3 countries at additional meetings held same date, place and time

To maximize your marketing efforts, WUSATA encourages companies to participate in all three missions: Central America, Mexico and Southeast Asia, which will be held on the same dates, times and locations. To register for these events, please click on the links below.
