PREFACE

This is the fifth edition of CARICOM’s Trade: A Quick Reference to Some Summary Data which covers

data for the period 2005 to 2010. This publication presents some of the basic summary trade data to which

users frequently refer and focuses primarily on CARICOM’s trade with principal trading partners, as well as on

Intra-CARICOM trade. Further this report could be used as a valuable source of trade information for

manipulation and analysis.

The report is divided into twelve chapters. Chapter 1 presents data on CARICOM’s Total Trade with all

principal trading partners and in this regard attempts to give a summarized picture of CARICOM’s overall

merchandise trade. Chapters 2-12 of the report, presents data on CARICOM’s Trade with principal trading

partners and Intra-CARICOM Trade, each section being devoted to trade with a particular trading partner.

CARICOM’s trade with individual countries – the United States, The United Kingdom, Canada, Venezuela and

Japan are also represented in this report.

The data presented in this report were extracted from those submitted to the CARICOM Secretariat by

Member States Statistics Department. It should be noted that data were not always available for all Member

States for specific years of the period 2005 to 2010. The incomplete nature of the data therefore poses

limitations to analysis and interpretation. Efforts are being made by the CARICOM Secretariat to fill the data

gaps.
