塔拉哈西，弗拉。– This week, Governor Rick Scott will lead an Enterprise Florida trade mission to Santiago, Chile with more than 100 representatives from Florida businesses, higher education institutions, and other organizations to expand investment with Chile and create job opportunities for Florida families. The trade mission includes nearly 20 Florida manufacturers and exporters which will be matched with Chilean importers through the U.S. Embassy’s Gold Key Program. Chile is Florida’s seventh largest trade partner with nearly $7.7 billion in bilateral trade. Florida-origin exports to Chile have expanded by 53% in the last two years, and the state has experienced a two-way trade growth of 262% since the implementation of the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement in January 2004.

斯科特州长表示，“佛罗里达州被定位成为国际贸易的数字。我们拥有多元化的劳动力，税收低，排名级别的基础设施。由于佛罗里达州的经济持续增长，贸易任务是加强国家在全球市场存在的重要途径。我期待着为智利领导贸易代表团，因为我们努力使佛罗里达州的第一州，工作和抚养一个家庭。“

贸易团也旨在通过佛罗里达港吸引更多智利货物。巴拿马城港口是智利铜的第一港口，迈阿密国际机场是智利鲑鱼的顶级入口点。2012年通过国家海港迁徙的国际贸易价值为855亿美元 - 包括423亿美元的进口和432亿美元的出口。该号码从2010年开始近28％。佛罗里达港的海事货物活动负责产生超过55万辆直接和间接的职位，总经济价值为900亿美元。这些活动贡献了22亿美元的国家和地方税收收入。

美国商务部长、佛罗里达企业集团总裁兼首席执行官格雷·斯沃普说：“通过我们的国际贸易和出口援助计划，佛罗里达企业集团正在帮助州企业在全球范围内扩张，并最终创造更多就业机会。国际使团，如前往智利的使团，为佛罗里达州的公司提供了与国际公司建立关系的独特机会。这些旅行对我们的小企业尤其重要，因为它们占佛罗里达州国际贸易的大部分。”

成功的记录：国际特派团对佛罗里达州非常成功，提供了对国家商业发展活动和远程工作的投资的显着回报。州长斯科特LED贸易和业务发展任务到巴拿马，加拿大，巴西，以色列，西班牙，英国和哥伦比亚。总督去年促进国际业务的积极创新方法赢得了他作为来自伦敦的外国直接投资（FDI）战略的最高美国直接投资（FDI）战略的奖项。
