"... Jamaica is actively engaged in the negotiation of multilateral, regional and bilateral trade agreements as a means of securing its trade interests and enhancing trade performance. In these agreements it seeks to remove tariff and non-tariff barriers on products of interest to Jamaica in asymmetrical arrangements with trading partners. It seeks also to facilitate measures to address supply-side constraints thereby facilitating improved productivity and competitiveness in both the domestic and export markets."
