ABOUT PANAMA
Many entrepreneurs struggle to find a reliable logistics partner to transport their cargo overseas. This challenge is even bigger when it comes to shipping to Central America. Language barrier, lack of infrastructure and personnel in the area are among the biggest issues faced by companies in need of moving commodities to countries like Panama.
In this scenario, picking the right freight forwarder makes all the difference to ensure your shipment will have a successful outcome. However, this is not an easy task, as several factors should be taken into consideration for you to make the right choice.
Panama has always had a significant advantage when it comes to commerce and shipping. Since the early 16th century, when the Spanish moved goods and gold across the isthmus, Panama has represented the closest point between two vast ocean trade empires. Recently, the country completed the Panama Canal Expansion Project, which more than doubled the waterway capacity of this important route. While Panama itself has traditionally relied heavily on imported goods from around the world, in the last twenty years the country has experienced its own economic growth, with fisheries, bananas, coffee, and sugarcane being the most popular exports.
