The Bahamas: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The strengthening of Bahama’s tourism sector bodes good news for U.S. food exports to The Bahamas. With nearly 80 percent of tourists to The Bahamas originating from the United States and with a location within the U.S. telecommunications umbrella, Bahamian food service outlets and consumers readily identify with U.S. branded products. In U.S. fiscal year (FY) 2017 (Oct-Sep) , the United States exported a record US$228 million in consumer-oriented foods to The Bahamas, making it the number one market for U.S. consumer-oriented foods in the CBATO region.
