MAP - Latin America and the Caribbean Region

USTDA's Latin America and Caribbean program responds to the need for foreign investment, products, and services in the region.  Projects that have been supported by USTDA include the construction of reliable inter-modal ports (linking highways, railways, and ports), power plants, petrochemicals, telecommunication systems, and water treatment plants, as well as the development of new or expanded mines.  USTDA is moving aggressively to insure that American companies and technology are there to supply the needed resources for this growing and vibrant market.  USTDA has also supported trade capacity building projects that have the potential of jump-starting new areas of human development in host countries.

Since the agency's creation in 1981, USTDA investments in projects in Latin America and the Caribbean have produced over $5 billion in U.S. exports associated with the implementation of more than 165 projects.  During fiscal year 2004, USTDA provided funding totaling $9.1 million related to more than 40 new projects in the region.
