Trinidad and Tobago is the Caribbean's leading energy exporter, with petroleum, liquefied natural gas (LNG), petrochemicals, and ammonia dominating its export profile, making it a major supplier to the United States and Latin America. The country is also a significant intra-regional supplier of manufactured goods and food products to CARICOM partners. Its industrial base and port infrastructure position it as a key transshipment and re-export hub in the Caribbean.
Trinidad and Tobago's exports are dominated by liquefied natural gas, crude petroleum, refined petroleum products, ammonia, methanol, and urea, with the energy sector accounting for the majority of export revenue.
The United States is the largest single export destination, followed by other Caribbean nations, Latin American countries, and the European Union.
Trinidad and Tobago regulates energy exports through the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries, and certain petroleum and gas exports are subject to licensing and contractual arrangements with state entities such as NGC and Heritage Petroleum.
