The Awards Reception, which culminates the JEA’s celebration of National Exporters’ Month, will be held in the Gardens of the Pegasus hotel on June 25 commencing at 6:30 pm. The Awards Reception is the medium through which the Association recognizes and awards excellence in the export industry.

Exporters across all sectors are competing for the title of Champion Exporter as well as other awards such as Most Improved Exporter, Best New Exporter and Best CARICOM Exporter.

Last year, the top award was won by J. Wray and Nephew, while Seprod was the runner- up.

As part of the month of celebrations, the JEA hosted several export related seminars as part of initiatives aimed at facilitating and building business relationships as well as promoting the National Export Strategy (NES).

The NES is being spearheaded by the JEA, Jamaica Trade and Invest and the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce. Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Karl Samuda is the champion of the strategy, which will be implemented over the next five years.
