Expo Jamaica 2012

Message

Presidents - JMA and JEA

On April 26-29, 2012, Jamaica’s best will be showcased at Expo Jamaica at the National Arena in Kingston, under the theme “Brand Jamaica to the World!” The Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association (JMA) and the Jamaica Exporters’ Association (JEA) has partnered to host this premier trade exposition to promote the world class quality products and services that Jamaica has to offer, in an effort to expand sales.

The increasing demand for our products worldwide, outstanding performance of our athletes, annual visitor arrivals, and appeal of our music are a testament to our international reach. Expo Jamaica presents an opportunity to capitalise on this reach by garnering international buyers and reinforcing the strength of Brand Jamaica.

The event also highlights the significant contribution that our manufacturers, exporters and service providers make to Jamaica’s socio-economic development by creating jobs, earning foreign exchange, and contributing to government revenues.

We welcome buyers to our beautiful island Jamaica to sample our products and enjoy an authentic Jamaican experience, and encourage residents to come out in their numbers to support Jamaican goods and services.
