Nicaraguan Business representatives traveled to Belize and managed to close business deals for about $300 thousand, according to the Export and Investment Center (CEI).
Although the figure is low when compared with Nicaraguan exports made to other countries, it represents a significant increase compared to what is usually sold to Belize.
Between January and June this year, Nicaragua exported only $20,000 worth of products to Belize.
In an article in Prensalibre.com, CEI's general manager, Roberto Brenes said that "in the negotiation rounds Nicaraguan delegates met with one hundred businessmen from Belize.
"We received multiple statements from employers, in Belize, telling us that they had no idea that Nicaragua had these products," he added.
For the remainder of 2011, the IEC expects Nicaragua to export $1.4 million worth of goods to the country.
