Export from Suriname

Suriname is considered to be a culturally Caribbean country, and is a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The economy of Suriname is dominated by the bauxite industry, which accounts for more than 15% of GDP and 70% of export earnings. Other main export products include rice, bananas and shrimp. Suriname has recently started exploiting some of its sizable oil and gold reserves. The Surinamese economy is very dependent on commerce, its main trade partners being the Netherlands, the United States, Canada.

Bauxite (aluminium ore) mining continues to be a strong revenue source, and the discovery and exploitation of oil and gold has added substantially to Suriname's economic independence. Agriculture, especially rice and bananas, remains a strong component of the economy, and ecotourism is providing new economic opportunities. More than 80% of Suriname's land-mass consists of unspoiled rain forest. 

Suriname main exports are bauxite (70 percent of total exports). Other exports of Suriname include gold, oil, hardwood and bananas.

Main export partners of Suriname are the United States (23 percent of total exports), Canada, Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Norway, Guyana and Netherlands.

Import to Suriname

The backbone of the economy of Suriname is the export of aluminium oxide (alumina) and small amounts of aluminium produced from bauxite mined in the country. Suriname's bauxite deposits have been among the world's richest.

There is one large scale gold mine operating in Suriname. Suriname's economic prospects for the medium term will depend on continued commitment to responsible monetary and fiscal policies and to the introduction of structural reforms to liberalize markets and promote competition. The government's reliance on revenue from extractive industries will temper Suriname's economic outlook, especially if gold prices continue their downward trend.

Suriname main imports are food, fuel, clothing and machinery. Other imports of Suriname include cars, sodium or potassium peroxides, delivery trucks, large construction vehicles and excavation machinery.

Main import partners of Suriname are the United States (26 percent of total imports) and Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands and Brazil.
