For U.S. exporters, retail food market conditions are not perfect in Latvia. But with consumer purchasing power on the rise and tourism growing, prospects are definitely up for U.S. consumer-oriented items. In fiscal 2002, high-value items represented 66 percent of all U.S. agricultural exports to Latvia, which totaled $28.2 million.
And the trend is continuing. In the first five months of 2003, U.S. consumer-oriented product sales were up 26 percent from the year before.
