Florida, Inc. (EFI) will lead an export sales mission to Honduras from
December 1-3, 2015. The country of Honduras holds vast opportunities
for Florida companies interested in increasing their footprint in the
Central American market. In fact, it serves as a distribution platform
for the rest of Central America due to some of the lowest logistical
costs in the region. Facilitated by the U.S.-Central America Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA-DR), the U.S. has become the chief trading partner for
Honduras and exporters benefit from eliminated tariffs and barriers.
EFI will offer a limited number of Gold Key Matchmaking one-on-one
appointments. Small and mid-sized Florida manufacturers and eligible
high-tech companies and professional service providers may qualify for
a Gold Key Grant, which will offset 100 percent of the matchmaking
registration fee for the first company representative. A separate
application process will be required for this grant. Participants will
be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
