Machinery Export Stats• Total Canadian exports of machinery to Latin
America and the Caribbean (LAC) in 2011 was $1.04B

• import of machinery is growing in 8 of the top 10 LAC markets
• Export sales in this category have grown about 10% since 2007
Likely Reasons for Growth of Machinery Exports
• Growing wealth and middle-class in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)
• Implementation of free trade agreements, which lower tariffs on machinery
• Growth in machinery-intensive sectors in LAC, eg agriculture; construction
• Skills and technical capability to repair/maintain machinery, especially used machinery ex. Cuba
• Professional expat class of Latin immigrants in Canada and U.S. facilitating machinery exports/imports and international business development
