Trinidad and Tobago manufacturers are looking to a renewed relationship with Venezuela to open a potentially lucrative nearby market for locally made goods, as the two countries move to deepen cooperation in trade, energy, agriculture and security.
Dr Ramesh Ramdeen, chief executive officer of the Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA), said greater access to Venezuela could help T&T significantly expand its exports while also providing manufacturers with a nearby source of raw materials and other production inputs.
