Reports and Analysis

Jamaica’s Exports Statistics – January to December 2020 – Exports decline by 26.4 per cent

img

Jamaica’s total exports for 2020 were valued at US$1,218.7 million. Relative to 2019, earnings from total exports declined by 26.4 per cent. The decline in total exports was mainly influenced by a reduction in the exports of Alumina and “Mineral Fuels” which fell by 39.8 per cent and 36.1 per cent respectively. The top five destinations for Jamaica’s exports were the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Iceland and Russian Federation. Exports to these countries declined by 19.5 per cent to US$936.2 million, largely due to the decline in the exports of Alumina. Regional trade also fell during 2020, with exports falling to US$76.3 million, 19.0 per cent below the US$94.2 million earned in 2019. Trade with the CARICOM Region accounted for 6.3 per cent of exports during 2020.
