BELTRAIDE - Belize Importers & Exporters Directory

FOREWORD

The Government of Belize continues to place special emphasis on establishing this country as a reputable and reliable supplier of quality goods and services. Notwithstanding its relatively small size, Belize’s export sector capacity and capability continues to grow and remain competitive in particular niche markets such as papayas and hot-pepper. The export sector has adopted competitiveness and quality as selling points as it seeks to improve even further an already impressive record. The Belize Trade and Investment Development Service (BELTRAIDE) was mandated to be the implementing arm of government policy in the area of Export Promotion and Investment. BELTRAIDE has been successful in producing its first edition of an Importers and Exporters Directory worthy of the highest commendation. The directory complements other initiatives that BELTRAIDE has undertaken such as the Exporter’s Manual and The Priority Sectors for Investment and Export Promotion. BELTRAIDE, as part of its active support for trade globalization, industrial activities and foreign investment, sincerely hopes that this directory will stimulate further business with Belize. The Government of Belize, in order to facilitate the best enabling environment and infrastructure, is engaged in a series of international trade negotiations. We are committed in the negotiation process for the Free Trade Areas of the Americas. The globalized trade arena has posed its share of challenges to the Belize economy, but our exporters have been able to maintain their presence in traditional markets such as CARICOM, the United States of America and Europe, while making important inroads into non-traditional markets such as Japan. We take this opportunity to express on behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Investment and BELTRAIDE to thank all those involved in producing this Directory of Importers and Exporters. We are sincerely grateful to the many entities that cooperated in the preparation of this directory, including all of the companies and associations, as well as the advertisers appearing in the directory, and to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for funding the production of this directory as an activity of the BELTRAIDE-IDB Technical Cooperation Project. I wish to reiterate the Government of Belize’s commitment to the production of quality goods and services, and to thank BELTRAIDE for providing another window showcasing this country’s products to the world. Sincerely,

Hon. Ralph H. Fonseca Minister of Home Affairs & Investment

CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY AND COMMON MARKET (CARICOM)

The Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) was established by the Treaty of Chaguaramas, which was signed by Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago, and came into effect on August 1st, 1973. CARICOM is aimed at the eventual integration of its members and economies, and the creation of a common market – the CARICOM Single Market Economy (CSME). Under the CARICOM agreement, all imported products entering Belize from one of the CARICOM member countries are exempted from import duties. In order to receive an exemption, importers must produce to the Comptroller of Customs a CARICOM Certificate of Origin which validates the CARICOM origin. CARICOM Members Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, Suriname, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago CARICOM Observers Anguilla, the Cayman Islands, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Bermuda, Dominican Republic, Netherlands Antilles On May 1st, 1971, Belize (then, British Honduras) became a member of CARICOM. Within CARICOM, Belize is listed as a Less Developed Country (LDC), and has been designated as one of the disadvantaged countries in the Community. Belize can export most of its products to CARICOM duty-free. Products which do not meet the qualifying conditions (i.e. Rules of Origin) must face the import duties as prescribed in the Common External Tariff (CET).

TARIFFS What is a tariff? A tariff is a tax placed on imported or exported goods, sometimes called a customs duty. A revenue tariff is set with the intent of raising money for the government. A protective tariff, usually applied to imported goods, is intended to artificially inflate prices of imports and “protect” domestic industries from foreign competition. What is an ad valorem tariff? An ad valorem tariff is a fixed percentage of the value of the good that is being imported. In some instances these may be problematic as when the international price of a good falls, so does the tariff, and domestic industries become more vulnerable to competition. Conversely, when the price of a good rises in the international market, so does the tariff. What is a specific tariff? A specific tariff is a tariff of a specific amount of money that does not vary with the price of the good. These tariffs may be harder to decide the amount at which to set them, and may need to be updated due to changes in the market or inflation.

13

PRIORITY SECTOR PROFILES Traditional Agriculture

Agro-Processing

Belize’s economic output has traditionally been primarily based on agriculture. However, within the past five years there has been a prominent shift towards the services sector with emphasis on tourism and finance.

Agro-processing was identified as an area of high priority as Belize has an abundance of raw materials available to support the industry. With the advent of the loss of preferential access into the U.K, Belize will have to take pro-active measures to protect its agricultural industry. With this in mind, there has been a push towards value-added traditional crops, as well as the promotion of non-traditional crops such as papayas, hot peppers, soybean, and organically grown vegetables. An opportunity has also been identified to brand, differentiate, and niche market some of these products in order to de-emphasize price as the leading determinant of exports.

Belize’s top three agricultural exports are citrus, sugar, and bananas. Agriculture currently provides about 71% of the country’s total foreign exchange earnings, and employs approximately 29% of the total labour force. Sugar accounts for about 60% of Belize’s agricultural exports, and the principal crop is sugar cane which is used for sugar production and a feed stock for ethanol production. Sugar cane is grown primarily in Northern Belize. About 50% of Belize’s sugar exports are sent to the EU under the EU Sugar Protocol and the Special Preferential Quota. Sugar exports to the US enter duty-free under the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI). Growth in citrus exports over the past ten years has averaged 24% per annum, making it the fastest growing agricultural industry. Citrus production is concentrated in the Stann Creek and Cayo Districts. Citrus harvesting and processing takes place during the months of October to July, and the main crop varieties are Valencia and Temple.

The shift towards the promotion of value-added and nontraditional agricultural crops has led to an increase in light manufacturing and agro-processing. Sugar, citrus, banana, and rice-based value-added products such as banana flour, banana chips, banana figs, crystallized citrus, orange and grapefruit segment, and dried fruits, as well as hot peppers in the area of non-traditional crops have been identified as areas that should be targeted for export and additional investment. Diversifying into agro-processing represents a viable strategy that would make the agricultural industry in Belize more sustainable, in light of the phasing out of preferential access to markets.

Over 95% of the fresh fruit citrus is processed into concentrates and not-from-concentrates (NFC’s), with the balance sent for export mainly to the U.K. The U.S, Europe, Japan, and CARICOM are the main importers of Belizean citrus products, and Belize continues to depend heavily on preferential duty-free treatment into these markets.

In addition, value-added products typically command higher prices, and provide greater opportunities for branding Belizean products and niche marketing. This would thereby help to eliminate some of the cost disadvantages that Belize faces when competing with countries that have larger scale production and cheaper labour.

Banana production is concentrated in Southern Belize. Privatization of banana estates began in 1985, and prior to this the industry was publicly owned. The species grown in Belize are of the “Cavendish” type, which is one of the most commonly grown varieties. All of Belize’s banana exports are sent to the U.K. through the Banana Growers Association (BGA).

Offshore Financial Services

Furniture Manufacturing

In an effort to increase economic diversification, Belize is a tax haven with investor friendly advantages for nonresidents. The Offshore Financial Services Industry has been identified as an area of opportunity for Belize given the size of the industry worldwide and in the Caribbean, as well as the fact that Belize has well developed legislation for Offshore Financial Services, a reasonably well-developed domestic financial industry, and its proximity to the large USA, Mexican, and Canadian markets.

Belize has an abundance of forestry resources, and the forestry industry has a long history in Belize. As a British colony, logwood was the first product ever exported from Belize in the 1600s. By the end of the 1700s, exports turned to mahogany, and until 1959 when sugar and citrus became the main exports, the Belizean economy was dependent on the mahogany trade.

Belize also boasts that it is the only English-speaking country in Central America, has a literate workforce, low operating costs, a stable economy, flexible fiscal incentives, and has had a fixed exchange rate for 25 years. Today, there are more than 35,000 active International Business Companies (IBC) on the register, and in addition there are other corporate vehicles available in the jurisdiction such as limited liability companies, mutual funds, protected cell companies, offshore trusts, international insurance, and offshore banking. Belize has also established programs such as Export Processing Zones (EPZ) and Commercial Free Zones (CFZ) to encourage investment. Despite the September 11th attacks, Belize is the only country in Central America that has experienced steady and continuous growth in the International Financial Services Industry. Belize has put in place a variety of measures to combat money laundering and fraud. The International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the reputation of Belize as a viable offshore financial center. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) was also recently established in a further effort to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The Unit is also responsible for investigating and prosecuting money laundering and other financial crimes such as internet fraud.

The main location of the largest furniture manufacturers in Belize is in the Cayo District, namely San Ignacio and Belmopan. Proximity to lumber yards is the predominant reason for this location. Typical secondary processed wood products in Belize include carved doors of Mayan and Colonial type, clam chairs, Caribbean patio sets, hammock chairs, cutting boards of tropical mixed hardwoods, carved coffee tables, office furniture, and bedroom furniture. Approximately 700 species of trees are native to Belize, making tropical timber a valuable resource. This natural resource serves as Belize’s potential comparative advantage, shielding it from the import prices of the international lumber market, and as such, sustainability is vital. A positive indicator of future trends in forestry, however, is the low population density of Belize. Higher densities tend to put pressure on land and natural resources due to agricultural production and urban development. In addition to this, the government is working on restricting exports to legally and sustainably harvested timber.

Tourism is one of the largest contributors to the Belizean economy. Less vulnerable than the traditional industries, tourism serves as a catalyst for further national development, as it encourages new investment by both the private and public sector. It allows Belize to gain worldwide recognition and helps us to create greater awareness and appreciation for our own cultural and natural resources. Belize is home to a wide array of natural attractions. White sand islands surround the Western Hemisphere’s longest barrier reef, jungle-covered foothills rising up to the Maya Mountains, world-class diving and fishing, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, ancient temples, and abundant wildlife are just a few of the attractions that allows Belize to be truly considered “Mother Nature’s best-kept secret”. Belizeans are committed to eco-tourism, conserving natural areas and cultural heritage, and are happy to share their paradise with those who wish to help preserve it. Each year more and more visitors come to Belize to enjoy its many wonders. Friends and families are drawn to this magical and beautiful land to dive, fish, hike, explore, learn, or just to relax. In 2004, total overnight tourist arrivals were 230,832, a 4.7% increase from 2003 figures (220,574). The main market for Belize continues to be the United States, and approximately 137,367 tourists were Americans. This represents a 7.9% increase from 2003. In 2004, there were 406 cruise ship calls into Belizean port. This represented a 28.9% increase in cruise ship calls over 2003. Total cruise passengers for 2004 totaled 851,436, which represents a 48.0% passenger increase from 2003. Tourism has been identified as one of Belize’s priority sectors for attracting investors, as additional investment would result in the earning of additional foreign exchange through the export of tourism services. Growth in the industry would also result in spillover benefits in other sectors/industries such as agriculture, handicraft making, and services that support or complement tourism. Each year the Belize Tourism Board releases its Travel & Tourism Statistics Digest showing the performance of the tourism industry. For more information on the tourism industry in Belize, and a comprehensive listing of accomodations, restaurants, charters, tours, etc. please visit the Belize Tourism Board’s website at www.travelbelize.org, or contact them at:
