Using the Latin America and Caribbean export playbook
Practical guidance for interpreting regional market and product comparisons.
Should Cabo Verde focus on this region?
Use the market ranking as a starting point, then check product fit, buyer requirements, route costs, tariffs, standards, and competitive conditions.
What does calculated opportunity mean?
It is a screening indicator built from demand and exporter-position signals. It is not a confirmed order, sales forecast, or guarantee of market entry.
How should exporters use this page?
Prioritize one market and product combination, then validate buyers, compliance, logistics, pricing, and continuity before making a commercial decision.
