The Caribbean value-added food market is characterized by a strong dependence on foreign food products, especially from the United States due to the region's little arable land, limited supply of water, and no economies of scale and economies of expereince. Furthermore, the proximity between some of these Caribbean countries and the US also boosts demand for US value added food products. For example, each year between six and seven million tourists (over half of which are from the US) visitthe Caribbean fueling the demand for US products. In 2016, the US exported $1 Billion worth of consumer-oriented fods and dish products to the Caribbean Basin, maintaining the high levels in that category from 2015. Preliminary data indicate that a similar level may be reached in 2017.
