It is with great pride and a sense of accomplishment that I congratulate the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA) on the successful staging of Expo Jamaica 2025. The staging of this year’s flagship event proved to be a powerful platform that continues to showcase the strength, creativity, and export readiness of Jamaican goods and services. JAMPRO was honoured to once again lead and execute the Buyer Recruitment Programme, which to date has yielded impressive results. This year, we proudly facilitated over 450 business to business meetings between Jamaican exporters and buyers, including over 150 international buyers. Of note, JAMPRO successfully introduced buyers from new markets from Thailand, Japan and Uganda to our suppliers. These outcomes demonstrate the strong global commercial interest in Brand Jamaica and the competitiveness of our local exporters, while also reaffirming Expo Jamaica’s vital role as a tool in the expansion of our international market reach and delivering real, measurable impact. Looking ahead, JAMPRO is already laying the groundwork to make our contribution to the next staging of Expo Jamaica even bigger, better, and more impactful. We remain committed to working closely with the JMEA and all stakeholders to deepen buyer engagement, strengthen business linkages, and secure even greater export opportunities and local linkages for the producers of Jamaican goods and services. To the exceptional JAMPRO team, our local and international partners, and the outstanding Jamaican companies who participated, including those from our Export Max Programme —thank you for your partnership and commitment to Jamaica’s economic growth.
