May 22, 2012St. Kitts and Nevis – Brazil Sign Trade Agreement
St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister, the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas has declared the twin-island Federation “now the only Caribbean country with almost zero-tariff access to the Brazilian market.”
The Prime Minister made this observation during the signing ceremony of the Partial Scope Agreement between St Kitts & Nevis and Brazil on Friday 11 May 2012 in Basseterre, ST Kitts & Nevis.
He added that “Manufacturers currently based in St. Kitts and Nevis, therefore, or those who move here will now, by definition, have an advantage vis-à-vis their competitors where access to the Brazilian market is concerned. This enhanced attractiveness of St. Kitts and Nevis as a manufacturing base will, in turn, mean additional employment, additional entrepreneurial opportunities, and increased revenue inflows for our Federation,”
Under the Partial Scope Agreement, St Kitts and Nevis will benefit through preferential access to the Brazilian market for its electronics products manufactured by the enclave sector which is located in Basseterre and Sandy Point. Similar access is being requested for beverages, specific agricultural and other light manufactured products.
