Located in the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica exported products worth approximately US$1.15 billion to international markets in 2025.

Compared with 2021, when Jamaican exports totaled $1.48 billion, this represents a 22.6% decline over the five-year period.

Based on average exchange rates in 2025, the Jamaican dollar strengthened by 1.7% against the U.S. dollar compared to the previous year. A stronger local currency generally makes Jamaican exports more expensive for overseas buyers using American dollars.
