The stars in Jamaica’s export world

Jamaica’s export earnings fell in 2020 from US$1.516 billion to US$1.165 billion, but it was not all bad news on the export front. Excluding mining that fell sharply due partially to the closure of the Alpart alumina plant and a fall in re-exports of mineral and fuels, other exports actually increased as a group but not anything like the fall in other major items.

Coffee exports have fallen but could recover

Export data released recently by the Statistical Institute of Jamaica shows the dramatic change that occurred on the export front with the traditional products giving way to new ones. Traditional Exports excluding mineral fuels earned just US$18.85 million down from US$16 million in 2019 and a fall of 44 percent from US$33 million earned in 2017, due primarily to a 43 percent fall in the export of coffee.
Export earnings from manufacturing, agriculture, and mineral fuels exceed the mining sector in 2020, accounting for 56 percent of exports compared to 51 percent in 2017 and 47 percent in 2019, but excluding mineral fuels, the rest of exported products accounted for US$430 million for 37 percent of exports earning in 2020 compared to US$382 million or 35 percent in 2017 and 27 percent with US$416 million in 2019, the decline in sugar, coffee and scrap metals were the main contributors to the slower growth. Excluding the three products along with mining and mineral fuel, exports would have risen an attractive 61 percent since 2017.
For example, sugar, bananas, cocoa are now shadows of their former glory. In their places come yams, now the leading agricultural export, followed by ackee and coffee. Sugar that was said to be king at one stage, generated just US$6.5 million in export earnings last year, bananas brought in a mere US$726,000 citrus US$383,000 and cocoa US$348,000.

Coming tomorrow – Declining sectors obscure export headway.
