KINGSTON, Jamaica – Expo Jamaica 2016, which will be in its 43rd year at its next staging is currently recruiting international and local buyers of Jamaican products for a large and improved show by Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO).

The Caribbean’s largest trade exhibition will be held on April 14 – 17, 2016 at the National Arena and Indoor Sports Complex in Kingston, Jamaica.

Another major highlight at the event is the established business platform for Jamaican exporters and service providers to broker partnerships, market products and engage in one-on-one sessions with attendees in an effort to generate sales.  The show will have two dedicated buyers’ days (April 14 and 15), where local and international buyers will have complete access to an inventory of familiar Jamaican products, along with a vast array of new and innovative products and services.

JAMPRO President, Diane Edwards said the agency was focused on bringing buyers to Expo Jamaica and facilitating meetings between the exhibitors and buyers due to the event’s goal to promote Brand Jamaica, and the convenience it offers to importers, distributors and retailers.

Buyers can view a diverse offering of products, see the innovative side of Jamaica and do business with these companies, all in the same location,” she explained.  Edwards said that the event presents an amazing opportunity for buyers to get all they need in one place.
