Statistics de archivo - nombre del Exportación del Caribe

Exportaciones de cacao

El cacao ha cautivado al mundo durante cientos de años y forma parte de la cocina moderna en forma de chocolate.

Se sabe que el cacao es una fuente de antioxidantes naturales y las investigaciones demuestran su potencial en la regulación inmunitaria, la reducción de la inflamación y el control de la diabetes. También ha sido vital en productos y cosméticos que favorecen el crecimiento del cabello y la reparación de la piel.

Según un estudio realizado por el Centro para la Promoción de las Importaciones de los Países en Desarrollo (CBI), la Organización Internacional del Cacao ha publicado una lista de los 23 países productores y la parte de sus exportaciones que puede clasificarse como cacao fino o de aroma. La definición o clasificación del cacao fino o de aroma sigue siendo bastante ambigua, pero en general se acepta que se trata de un cacao afrutado que incluye notas herbáceas, florales y de madera. De los 23 países de la lista, siete son Estados del CARIFOUM.

Exports of Sauces and Condiments

Data shows that export volumes for sauces and preparations from the Caribbean are not consistent.

Among the top exporters of sauces and condiments are Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Exports from all the other Caribbean states fluctuate significantly, which may be due to supply issues like sourcing of consistent raw materials or technical barriers to trade like labelling standards.  

The sauces and condiments market was valued at USD 142.5 billion in 2018 with five-year trends indicating growth to USD 181 billion by 2023. The industry is estimated to have an untapped market potential of USD 7.5 billion.  Major target markets are the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. These are also the markets with greatest potential for Caribbean exports of preparations for sauces and prepared sauces.  

Coffee Exports

Coffee has multifunctional properties as a food additive and nutraceutical. As a nutraceutical, coffee has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-dyslipidemic and anti-obesity properties.

Although most of the world’s coffee is grown in South and Central America, some islands in the Caribbean possess optimal conditions for the cultivation of coffee beans. In the case of Jamaica, these conditions are responsible for the smoothness of the Jamaican Blue Moutain Coffee, which is the region’s leading coffee export. The soil composition and the high mountain altitudes are responsible for the production of a mild, smooth bean with a strong aroma. These beans are heavily demanded and can sell for USD 50-60 per pound.

In 2019, the global coffee market has estimated to be valued at USD 102.15 billion, with projections to increase by 6.2% to USD 155.64 billion. Globally, the major markets for coffee are the United States, Germany, and Italy. The markets with greatest potential for Caribbean’s exports of coffee that is not roasted, nor decaffeinated are Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Exportación de miel

La miel natural ha sido ampliamente aceptada como alimento con fines medicinales durante generaciones, desde las civilizaciones antiguas hasta los tiempos modernos.

En general, con el cambio hacia alternativas más saludables, los consumidores prefieren edulcorantes bajos en calorías, naturales y saludables. There is greater focus on healthier alternatives to refined sugar, such as raw cane sugar, honey and palm sugar amongst others.

Al igual que ocurre con el aloe vera y otros productos naturales, la creciente tendencia de los consumidores a exigir alternativas más saludables ha puesto de manifiesto las ventajas de utilizar la miel como edulcorante. El consumo regular de miel se asocia con altos niveles de energía en comparación con los edulcorantes artificiales, proporcionando además nutrición, aumento de la actividad metabólica, crecimiento y vida saludable.

El valor del mercado mundial de la miel está valorado en 9.210 millones de dólares en 2020 y se espera que crezca un 11,6% hasta alcanzar los 14.200 millones de dólares en los próximos cinco años. The International Trade Centre’s Export Potential Map indicates that the markets with greatest potential for Caribbean honey exports are Germany, Spain and China.
