  • Hub builds on relationship with Guatemala

    In August 2017 the International Trade Hub’s Ivan Mutis was invited with Ruby Ortiz, director of the Florida Institute of Management, to the Guatemalan city of Antigua to discuss business opportunities between Guatemala and the state of Florida. Guatemala’s relationship to SeaSeaPort Manatee is already significant, as one of it’s top five trade partners, exporting bananas, pineapples, melons and plantains through the port. Imports to Guatemala from the Central Florida Gulf Coast port are led by Kraft linerboard, vehicles, auto parts and lubricating oils.

    The interview featured below features the highlights of their platforms and their goals for the trip, various of which have seen their second installment this past month with the visit of the trade commission from the Guatemalan ports at Puerto Barrios and Santo Tomás de Castilla, and from a previous trade commission that presented to the Port Authority Meeting this past May.. You can check the video out through the link below, and can connect with the Florida Institute of Management in Miami here.

    This past Tuesday, October 26, the International Trade Hub of the Port of Manatee met with the office of trade promotion of the state department of Chile, PROCHILE, in Chile’s capital, Santiago. Thanks to the support of the Chilean trade commissioner to Florida in Miami, Sacha Garafulic, Marina Besadalombana from the Trade Hub met with PROCHILE’s representatives of North and Central American and Caribbean markets, Jeannette Jofre and Sylvana Gattini. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the promotion of Chilean commercial interests in Manatee County and further establish economic ties through the International Trade Hub and Chilean businesses. Over the course of the meeting, therefore, PROCHILE generated an agenda for the Trade Hub to establish connections with the following Chilean institutions and businesses:
    – Chilean-American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM),
    – Chilean Exporters Association (ASOEX),
    – And businesses including Patagonia Mussels, Chilean Olives, Chiletec, Picso Chile, and Chile Prunes.
    PROCHILE has also extended to the Trade Hub an invitation to present this coming Spring regarding business opportunities in Manatee County. We are excited to work with them more in the future!
