As an inventor I have several small products that I wish to have manufactured. Can anyone provide information as to the feasability of light manufacturing (stainless steel products) in the Bahamas. ie import duties taxes etc. Thank you

There are breaks on duties and government incentives to encourage manufacturing in the Bahamas. If you need further information feel free to email me.

It is amazing that there is little information regarding the patenting and/or copywriting of any product that a Bahamian inventor as such may want to bring to market. I too am interested in bringing a product to market utilising plastic and steel products.

I too have interest in manufacturing opportunites here. Even though high labor cost is a factor...the Carribbean Basin initiative allows us to ship duty free to the states as Im sure that most of where my customers will be...

still in effect from what Iread (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Basin_Initiative) it has more teeth now...who knows what the fate of the FTAA would have been...i think...

green petroluem is a blessing in disguise for western third world countries (http://ncseonline.org/NLE/CRSreports/05Jan/RS21930.pdf)
brazil just did 40 mill in sales of ethanol product to America through it so I dont see how it did...ill do some research...I just hope jamaica doest let Brazil use them... FTAA and Brazil and now ethanol (oh the irony)

I thought that expired

vicky i think I misspoke. fyi (http://www.jonesbahamas.com/?c=47&a=8721) but given our behaviour to date...I dont see how the US will extend anything to us anymore (as for the "snake" action and "secretive" UN votes...)

if anyone has insight (i.trade experience) into this could you please share with the board.

True, we have not been the suck-ups and yes men they have come to know.

no I wasnt saying that...far from it...I was talking about the behaviour of our foreign minister to date...un votes, cuban debacle, god knows what else...sucking up and kissing arse is not being diplomatic...neither is forgetting how we eat (tourism and how that help funds the sneaky snake travels around the world) and spitting in the face of your neighbours for the communist....

Ping, who I knew personally could hang on the blocks or dine with queens and kings. With the corruption whatever he did wrong or right, he still looked out for our Bahama land and did not sell his soul or our land to investors. Yes the islands need investors to come in and build, but there is a fine line of what is promised by these investors and what actully hapens. Can most bahamians go to Paradise Island and rise their head to the rising sun? da guard will ask dem where dey goin, oh yea the one access to the beach, no parkin.
Anyway what I think I am wanting to say is, there is always corruption in every government. I see it every day, you don,t get anything done without throwin out a 20 here or there.
