Celebrations: Thanks to the extreme popularity of Reggae Music, our music festivals are well known.

National Holidays: We have ten national holidays, four of which are Christian holiday.

ExportingAgriculture: In my opinion Jamaica’s best product is the blue mountain coffee that in my opinion is the best coffee. However Jamaica is not so good, and in the last year Jamaica was declared the 2nd main producer of marijuana (a drug made up of a medical plant).And then the rum is probably the best rum in the world.

The apple rum is considered premium rum, in my opinion it should be the best rum in the world.

Industry: The bauxite (a type of aluminum) its one of the best industrial products that Jamaica produces.

Jamaica also exports other kinds of products like: furniture and clothes.

Importation

Agriculture: Jamaica imports some essential products like potatoes, wheat, tomatoes, etc.

Jamaica needs these products for the population in it; Jamaica generally buys frozen products like vegetables or fruits.

• Industry: Jamaica´s economy depends in its industrial imports like: Fuel, machinery, petroleum, etc. Also it imports construction materials such as: cement, bricks, and others. Jamaica wouldn´t be as big as it is now, due to the construction materials.
