With many Latin American economies having rapid growth and the UK Government boosting its trading
interests in this region, particularly following the Brexit referendum on the 23rd of June 2016
in which Britain voted to leave the European Union, it is now the time for UK exporters to take
advantage of this dynamic emerging market where demand for imported goods is on the rise.
Conversely, considering the UK is one of the top 10 largest import countries in the World,
it is key for Latin American exporters to focus their attention on this market and the prospects
that Brexit could bring. Britain’s upcoming exit from the EU leaves it available for governments
in Latin America to redefine existing trade relationships under potentially less
restrictive procedures and negotiate access to the British market for a wider range of products.
In recent years Britain’s trade with Latin America has been growing much faster than its trade with the EU.
Since 2010 the UK Government has pushed the ‘Canning Agenda’ to increase levels of trade and investment
with Latin America. It is still early days to be able to predict how the commercial deals will unfold
after Britain’s exit from the EU, but it seems bilateral trade is likely to be fast-tracked
as both British and Latin American exporters look to capitalise on new opportunities.
Current commercial deals in place between the UK and Latin America are Mexico, Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama), Andean countries (Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru), and Chile.
Britain & Latin America Logistics Ltd is committed to developing long term relationships with exporters and importers,
whilst providing them with effective logistics and transport solutions. Our goal is to help with both the business
expansion of our clients and the flourishing of trade between the UK and Latin America, especially if the resulting
trade is beneficial not only for the companies involved but also for the surrounding communities.
