2022
Overview
Thanks to our strong manufacturing history, the sector has consistently achieved between 8 and 9% of GDP, over the last few years. In fact, of all the goods-producing sectors, manufacturing is the second largest contributor to the economy.
With over 300 companies in the sector that are engaged in a diverse array of manufacturing activities, many global and local leading brands who are synonymous with excellence are proudly made in Jamaica, by Jamaican producers.
Our manufacturing sector is divided into two main categories – traditional and non-traditional.
Traditional manufactured goods include sugar, rum, coffee, cocoa products, and citrus products. While, non-traditional goods include beverages, chemicals, apparel, furniture, building materials and petroleum products.
