Market Reports

 

Food Service Sector : Sint Maarten/St. Martin (1/16/2002)

 

Sint Maarten/St. Martin’s $37 million food market for its hotel, restaurant and institution(HRI) sector is dynamic and eclectic. As a result of the islands’s duty free status and the relatively large population base, the island has developed into a distribution hub for the food service sectors on the surrounding islands of Anguilla, Saba, St. Batherlmey, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Eustatius. With poor soil and a limited water supply, the island must import nearly all of its food needs.

 

Retail Food Sector : Sint Maarten/St. Martin (2/14/2002)

 

St. Maarten/St. Martin’s $68 million food retail sector offers great opportunities for U.S. retail products across the board. The islands’s relatively large population base, it’s duty free status, it’s dependence on U.S. and European tourist and it’s role as a distribution hub for surrounding islands make it one of the best markets in the Caribbean.
