Discuss, in detail, what you believe to be the 4 best opportunities for business in Belize and why.

We feel that the four best business opportunities for Belize are products that can be sold to countries around the world. Belize's primary products are citrus, sugar, and bananas. The two countries that import the most bananas are the United States and European Countries, so it implies that these are the most important countries to trade with. Meanwhile, the countries that import the most raw sugar are Russia and India. Their non-traditional products are papayas, soy beans, and other exotic tropical fruits, fresh water aquatic livestock, and oil. The primary products are citrus, sugar, and bananas. These products should be exported to countries around the world. In addition, Belize should focus on Information Communication Technology (ICT), due to the fact that they are a bilingual country. They speak both English and Spanish, so they should trade with countries that speak the same languages.
