KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Jamaica is the second Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country to have participated in a survey conducted by an international organization assessing enterprises in developing countries to help them better understand the non-tariff barriers to trade.
The International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint cooperation agency of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), also conducted the survey in Trinidad and Tobago under a three year programme that was launched in 2010.
"So far, we have covered 30 countries including seven pilot surveys in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean as well as Latin-America," said ITC's Executive Director, Patricia Francis.
