St Lucia has significantly diversified its manufacturing base over the last decade, producing a range of award winning products including food and beverages, corrugated cardboard cartons, handicraft, sporting goods, furniture, metal sheeting, apparel and souvenir items among others. Access to major markets and CARICOM countries has attracted a wide spectrum of international businesses from the U.S., Europe, Canada, Korea, China, Hong Kong, the Caribbean and elsewhere.

St. Lucia's long history as a trading nation, its central location, and its membership in CARICOM & Caribbean Single Market makes St. Lucia the ideal location from which to service both the regional market and the near shore markets of North and Latin America.
