IMPORTS
In April 2014, the value of Belize’s total imports was
$159.8 million, a $2.1 million or 1.3 percent decrease
over the same month in 2013.
The most significant spending decrease was for goods
imported into the free zones, which fell by 29 percent
to $16 million, followed by Manufactured Goods whose
value decreased by 14.5 percent primarily because
of reduced purchases of metal roofing sheets and
construction steel bars.
Belize imported over $60 million worth of goods from
the United States during the month. Curaçao and
Mexico remained the second and third largest sources
of imports, respectively, combining for a 25 percent
share.
At the end of the first four months of this year, import
spending was up by 24 percent to a little over $600
million. The bulk of the increase was on Machinery and
Transport Equipment and Manufactured Goods.

DOMESTIC EXPORTS
As in the previous three months, Belize’s export
earnings fell in April 2014 when compared to the same
month last year. Preliminary data indicate that during the
month the country’s total domestic exports amounted to
$65.3 million, down 6.6 percent from a year ago. This
decline was mainly as a result of decreased earnings
from bananas, papayas, Red Kidney Beans and animal
feed.
Sugar and crude petroleum remained the top two
earners, with earnings from sugar increasing by about
$1 million while oil receipts fell by $0.6 million. Although
exports of citrus concentrate were down by just under
$1 million, the combined receipts from citrus products,
which include grapefruit concentrate, orange and
grapefruit oil, and citrus pulp cells, was over $10 million
for the month. The shrimp industry continues to perform
well, with receipts of $5 million, almost double that of
last April. Animal feed brought in $2.5 million, with sales
continuing to Puerto Rico and Guyana.
Exports to both the EU and Caricom fell by almost
40 percent, while sales to the US was practically
unchanged during the month.
Up to the end of April this year, domestic exports stood
at $205 million, roughly $44 million less than for the
corresponding four months in 2013. The two largest
contributors to the decrease were crude petroleum
and sugar, with declines of $18 million and $16 million,
respectively. There were reduced sales of all other
major exports, except farm shrimp. Earnings from the
minor exports stood steady at $32 million, despite a $5
million drop in animal feed sales.
