2. What to look into next

Our reading

  • The research marks wheat flour, animal feed preparations and soft drinks and flavored waters as lines a small or mid-sized company could be in. If yours is one, check which markets buy that line, not only Grenada’s top destinations overall.

    Source: UN Comtrade, Grenada exports by product, 2024⁠ (opens in a new tab) · as of October 30, 2026

    Based on: Top goods exports

  • Soft drinks and flavored waters grew 142% from 2023 to 2024; wheat flour grew 14% from 2023 to 2024. A growing line can mean buyers are looking for more; confirm it with that line’s buyers before you plan around it.
