Caribbean Export and Business Support Organizations

Enhancing BSO Capacity

ExpoCuba fairgrounds site on the outskirts of Havana. FIHAV is an event organised by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment of the Republic of Cuba, the Cuban Chamber of Commerce, the Conventions Palace and ExpoCuba. This multi-sector commercial fair covers industry sectors such as consumer goods, machinery, equipment, information technology, raw materials and services. Under the 10th EDF, Caribbean Export has supported 32 firms in attending and showcasing at FIHAV. Of this total, three were BSOs: ADO-EXPO, BELTRAIDE, and JAMPRO. Caribbean Export’s participation in FIHAV is focused on creating business opportunities between Cuban buyers and CARIFORUM SMEs in order to promote the sectors that are readily positioned within a global trade context. The Agency also provides the necessary platform to discuss trade between Cuba CARIFORUM States. In this regard, Caribbean Export has partnered with the Cuban Chamber of Commerce to host business matchmaking with selected companies.
