The PROMOTORA DEL COMERCIO EXTERIOR DE COSTA RICA (PROCOMER – THE COSTA RICAN FOREIGN TRADE PROMOTION ORGANIZATION) invites you to participate in the XI Buyers’ Trade Mission, to be held from September 8th to the 11th 2009, at the Hotel Ramada Herradura Convention Center, San Jose.
This initiative brings together international buyers from Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the CARICOM islands, Panama, China, the European Union and other countries in Costa Rica.
Distributors and international wholesalers and retailers visit Costa Rica to attend pre-established personalized business appointments with Costa Rican exporters. These appointments are a tool to facilitate properly beginning negotiations between the local supply and the different requirements representing international demand. This event will enhance the benefits derived from the Free Trade Agreement and other trade agreements signed by these countries.
The Buyers’ Trade Mission will enable direct contact between buyers and exporters in an area set aside exclusively to emphasize the qualities that Costa Rican products entail. The event will provide an opportunity to become more familiar with a major part of the national export supply and visit production plants. This all takes place in an appropriate business setting with a guide and the support of PROCOMER through its Trade Promotion Offices.
Why is it important to participate in BTM 2009?
- Direct contact between buyers and sellers.
- More formality and commitment by parties in negotiation.
- Visit the interested companies on site.
- Identify market needs, opportunities, and trends for investors.
- Makes it possible to position products in the target markets, increasing profit levels and growing sales and export volumes.

- Allows for a broader understanding of foreign markets.
In our ninth event in 2007, we enjoyed the participation of 171 buying companies from 29 different countries and 216 national export companies. This combination engendered more than 2,500 business appointments, which is a unique event in its class in Costa Rica with singular attractions and benefits for the participants, all with a high degree of effectiveness.
