IMPORTS
In February 2014, Belize imported goods valuing
$141.2 million, a $7.5 million or 5.6 percent rise over
February 2013. Of the 12 main categories of goods, 3
showed spending increases: Machinery and Transport
Equipment, Other Manufactured Goods and Chemical
Products.
The US remained the single largest source of imports,
providing almost $40 million worth of goods during
the month. Curaçao and Mexico were the second and
third largest sources, with $19 million and $16 million,
respectively. The largest purchases from Mexico
were CFZ imports, animal feed, building cement, and
construction steel while fuel dominated imports from
Curaçao.
Spending on imports has totalled $279.2 million for the
first two months of 2014. This represents an increase of
$10.7 million or 3.9 percent more than the same period
last year.

DOMESTIC EXPORTS
Belize export receipts for February 2014 stood at $49.5
million. This represents a decrease of approximately
$12 million or 20 percent over the same month last year.
There were decreased earnings from all major exports
except marine products. The largest fall in earnings
occurred in the export of sugar, which fell by roughly
one-half to $7.7 million. This was due to poor weather
conditions and the delayed opening of the sugar factory.
Even with these setbacks, the Belize Sugar Industries
Limited is still optimistic for a very good production year.
Despite an increase in world prices, Belize exported
slightly less crude oil in the month, resulting in a $2
million reduction in revenues. Similarly, grapefruit
concentrate sales were down mainly because of the
product being stored to be blended later in the year.
Farm shrimp continues to perform well, generating an
additional $3.9 million in receipts and increasing the
share of exports to Mexico.
