Efficient shipping is vital to B2B success. As an archipelago-based community, CARICOM’s logistics infrastructure can either accelerate or constrain intra-regional trade. Luckily, innovation and port upgrades are in motion across the region.
Logistics Hubs:
-
Jamaica: Kingston Freeport Terminal among largest in region.
-
Trinidad & Tobago: Point Lisas port is a distribution hub.
-
Suriname & Guyana: Rising importance due to energy exports.
Needs and Gaps:
-
Dominica, Grenada: Limited warehousing and container tracking systems.
-
St. Kitts & Nevis: Needs cold-storage facilities.
Trade Strategy: Build a CARICOM Smart Logistics Platform with blockchain-based tracking. Expand regional shipping lanes and subsidize low-traffic routes to ensure equitable access.
