Minister of Trade and Industry Paula Gopee-Scoon will lead Trinidad and Tobago’s trade mission to Dominica from today, Sunday, January 19 until January 22.
A media release from the MTI noted that the mission was organized by the Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA) and supported by the Ministry with the aim to create business opportunities for T&T exporters to conduct business with buyers from Dominica.
The MTI noted that initiative is part of the government’s Export Booster Initiative (EBI) which is a strategic effort designed to increase the value of the country’s non-energy exports over the next three years.
It said the delegation will consist of 29 companies across the food and beverage, construction, printing and packing, chemical and household, construction and services sectors.
“These companies will participate in organized business to business meetings in their respective markets…The Trade Mission will create avenues for these companies to further penetrate the Dominican market and provide the opportunity for them to gain useful market intelligence,” the release added.
Additionally, the MTI said it will use the opportunity to engage in bilateral discussions with Ministerial counterparts and other key officials in Dominica.
“These discussions will seek to strengthen trade relations between Trinidad and Tobago and Dominica. The discussions will also aid in advancing the export prospects for local companies,” it said.
During the four-day mission, Minister Gopee-Scoon will meet with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Business, Trade and Energy, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Blue and Green Economy, the Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce, and the Dominica Manufacturers Association.
