Why this matters: For Puerto Rico’s small businesses, expanding into the Caribbean market could provide a much-needed boost to the local economy and create new opportunities for growth and development.

Incoming president of the Center for United Retailers (CUD), Alan Taveras Sepúlveda, plans to connect Puerto Rico’s small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) with Caribbean markets. He discussed his plans with The Weekly Journal, with his presidency set to begin in less than three weeks.

Taveras Sepúlveda aims to expand the reach of Puerto Rico’s SMEs beyond the local market. The Center for United Retailers will play a key role in facilitating this connection.

Taveras Sepúlveda’s goal is to provide new opportunities for Puerto Rico’s SMEs in the Caribbean region.
