In order to reactivate economic activity in Panama, Ministry of Health authorities issued strict compliance guidelines for companies and workers.
The guide is aimed at producers, distributors, and consumers; microenterprises, medium-size companies, large companies, and their clients, who are required to comply with the standards established by the health authorities in order to mitigate the expansion of covid-19, the official document details.
Making safety and hygiene protocols visible, communicating the cases of covid-19 of its personnel and applying technology in processes to generate trust among its clients are some of the changes that companies must apply in this new business context.
The health emergency and the economic crisis resulting from the covid-19 outbreak changed everything at a global level.
Butter, baby diapers, surface cleaners, and wheat and corn flour are some of the products most demanded by Guatemalan households in this context of quarantine and social isolation.
Yogurt, tuna, processed beans, cookies, rice and toilet paper are the other items that complete the list of ten more products bought by families in Guatemala in this new commercial reality, resulting from the health emergency caused by the outbreak of covid-19.
The trade show MANUFEXPORT to be held on October 1st - 2nd will bring together companies in the region and international buyers.
From a statement by the Guatemalan Exporters Association:
"AGEXPORT and the Chamber of Industry have jointly organized MANUFEXPORT 2014, Special Edition where 100 buyers from the U.S., Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Colombia will discover the range of food and beverages (perishable and non-perishable) plastics, personal care and cosmetics, cleaning products, paper converters and processors, and for the first time the categories of home furnishings, clothing, accessories and footwear for sale at stands."
Colombian SMEs see an opportunity to position themselves in Central America, alongside the corporations from that country that have already landed in the region.
Examples are Sirius and Cosméticos Bachué, two companies out of the nearly 200 SMEs interested in finding a place for their products in Central America and the Caribbean.
"Alvaro Gomez, director of the trade office Proexport in Costa Rica, said the country needs to double its power generation levels over the next eight years. This opens up great opportunities for electrical companies, like Sirius, in a country which in 2012 exported goods and services worth $274.4 million," noted an article in Elcolombiano.com.
