The Government of Dominica has placed great emphasis on attracting investments in manufacturing activities with employment and export earning potential. However, these manufacturing activities must be sustainable and in complete harmony with the environment. In addition to diversifying the agricultural base, Dominica continues to encourage expansion in light manufacturing and agro-processing.

Industrial factory space and land is available for investment in assembly line manufacturing for products like furniture, housing components, doors and windows. Both main shipping ports are located close to the major industrial parks. With the advent of geo-thermal energy we expect a significant reduction in the cost of energy generation and the overall cost of production for manufacturers.
