SheTrades businesses to be launched on Caribshopper
The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is deepening its relationship with Caribshopper, an e-commerce platform designed to connect Caribbean businesses with global consumers, by onboarding SheTrades Hub members in the institution’s 19 Borrowing Member Countries to sell their products via the digital marketplace.
The Caribshopper platform, connects regional businesses to
consumers in the United States of America (USA) and Canada through its
logistical hubs in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. It currently features close
to 10,000 Caribbean-made products from over 650 brands. The SheTrades Caribbean
Hub is CDB's flagship resource centre for women led businesses to access new
markets, mentorship, networking and capacity building. Through this new
partnership, Caribbean women entrepreneurs who are members of the Hub will
enter an established and reputed virtual space to conduct business and receive
logistics and in-market compliance support.
Lisa Harding, Acting Head Private Sector Division at CDB, emphasized the importance of the initiative. “We’re building on our existing relationship with Caribshopper and helping to connect women entrepreneurs with international consumers. It is a powerful and empowering opportunity to use a digital platform to facilitate women to reach otherwise untapped markets and to navigate persisting logistical and financial constraints.”
