WHY THE AMERICAS?

Why consider exporting to the Americas? The Western Hemisphere holds tremendous potential for U.S. goods and services.  In 2013, it was the destination for 45% of all U.S. exports, more than any other region across the globe.  Both its geographic proximity and the presence of 11 free trade agreements in the region make these markets attractive for U.S. businesses.  U.S. goods exports to Latin America rose 9% from 2011 to 2012, compare to 4.4% for overall U.S. exports.
