The quality and reliability of U.S. goods and services have encouraged Jamaican businesses and consumers to purchase from the United States. U.S. businesses have also developed a good reputation for being trusted partners and providing quality product and services to include aftermarket support. Jamaica has excellent air, sea, and underwater communications cable links with the United States and the rest of the world. 

Jamaica’s natural beauty, strong cultural heritage and global reach makes tourism an attractive industry. Opportunities exist for accommodations, attractions, and experiences that cater to a range of travelers. There are also efforts to diversify away from traditional BPO services to higher value-added digital services, driven by a digital transformation initiative. Opportunities include software development, e-commerce, and cyber security. Jamaica’s commitment to clean energy presents opportunities in solar, wind, and storage. 

Mineral fuels, lubricants, agricultural products, machinery & transport equipment remain important areas of demand in Jamaica. Opportunities also exist for goods and services associated with manufactured goods, chemicals, construction, logistics, and business process outsourcing (BPO) sectors.
