Panama: Hotel Restaurant Institutional
Panama continues to be an attractive market for U.S. food products, especially for the food service sector. GDP in 2016 is expected to reach a healthy 5 percent and the country’s major logistical facilities, such as the Panama Canal and ports on both oceans, make it an important hub in the Americas. Major hotels, fine restaurants and international corporations have a home in Panama as does a huge expat community all of which fuels demand for imported U.S. food, beverages, and agricultural products.
