Costa Rica aims to boost trade with post-Brexit Britain

Monday, October 2, 2017


Costa Rican officials have expressed confidence that trade with Britain will continue unbroken following Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Some 7.4 per cent of the Central American nation’s banana exports go to the UK, and maintaining that relationship is a key priority for producers.

Jorge Sauma, chief executive of the Costa Rican banana corporation Corbana, said that at a recent meeting with the University of Exeter, both sides stressed the desire to continue to trade at the current level.
