T&T’s manufacturing sector is the largest in the English-speaking Caribbean, and the largest sector of the country’s national economy with Manufacturing accounting for 19.2% of total GDP. Trinidad and Tobago is an ideal location for the setting up of manufacturing enterprises within the Caribbean. Its robust logistics infrastructure, supported by numerous bi-lateral and multi-lateral trade agreements, have consistently created pathways for manufacturers seeking to widen their access to new markets. Additionally, T&T’s amenable energy costs – facilitated by its hydrocarbons industry – significantly boosts the capacity ofmanufacturers to offer competitively priced exported products. The availability and abundant supply of affordable electricity and natural gas gives the sector a competitive advantage, relative to its regional counterparts in the Caribbean. Past and present developments in other related sectors, such as agro-processing, downstream petrochemicals and logistics, serve to shore up the sector by creating useful value-chain linkages.
