Jamaica: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional Annual
The hotel, restaurant, and institutional (HRI) sector in Jamaica continues to thrive, driven by a rapidly expanding tourism sector. In 2023, global agricultural exports to Jamaica slightly exceeded $1 billion with the United States supplying $606 million of that total. U.S. consumer-oriented products constituted the largest category of agricultural exports to the Caribbean Island, totaling $282 million, or 46.5 percent market share. While opportunities exist for growth in consumer-oriented exports, particularly within the HRI sector, local government regulations continue to restrict some U.S. exports, such as pork and pork products.
