  • BICO Undergoing Restructuring Exercise
    Established October 1895 New gender policy on the horizon Page 5 Friday February 20, 2015 $2 VAT Inclusive POTENTIAL FOR MORE EXPORTS THERE are several opportunities for Barbados to boost its exports to China. Pointing out that China has a popula- tion of $1.3 billion, with a significant in- terest in other cultures, Senior Officer with the Barbados Investment Development Corporation Paula Bourne highlighted that while there has been a marked increase in trade between Barbados and China since 2007, there was still significant potential for export growth from the island. She noted for example that products such as rum and sea island cotton could be marketed and sold to the People’s Republic of China as well as music and cultural items. “While we are small and we often think that we do not have a lot to offer, China attaches great importance to economic trade and cultural relations with Barbados and the wider Caribbean. There is significant business potential that can be developed between the two countries and we need to step out and ex- plore,” she stated. Bourne stressed that private sector companies must work with facilitators in order to get samples of their products into Chinese markets. Noting that there were 2.4 million mil- lionaires in China, she pointed out that by gaining the interest of a few of these in products and services of the Caribbean could make a significant difference. In addition, she suggested that in the same way that China had trade agree- ments with various countries across the world, it is time that it also had one in place with Caricom.
