A sector selection and value chain analysis in Belize - Sustainable tourism and dehydrated fruits processing in the districts of Toledo and Stann Creek

This publication offers a structured framework for identifying value chains that foster economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. Furthermore, it enables the identification of constraints and opportunities that may impact value chain performance.

To respond to the urgent need to address these challenges, the International Labour Organization (ILO) Decent Work Team and Office for the Caribbean has prepared this publication within the framework of the Government of Belize / United Nations Joint Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Fund Programme: Building a resilient Belize through universal, adaptive, and sustainable social protection. It focuses on two key sectors – agriculture and tourism. Both have enormous potential to contribute to local inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Belize. They are also shaped by a predominance of informality.
