€3.5–€5Million European Investment Targeted Following Cabinet Approval in Antigua and Barbuda
A significant European-backed investment is being advanced following Cabinet approval of a comprehensive concessions package supporting the development of a premium beverage production facility in Antigua and Barbuda.
The approval represents a key milestone, reflecting the Government’s continued focus on attracting high-quality foreign investment and supporting sustainable industrial development.
The project is targeting investment in the range of €3.5 million to€5million and will establish a state-of-the-art production facility focused on premium still and sparkling water, alongside a range
of beverage mixers designed for both the regional hospitality sector and export markets.
The development is expected to generate approximately 150 direct jobs across production, administration and operations, while supporting more than 1,000 indirect roles in sectors including shipping, transport, logistics and port services.
The approved concessions provide a strong foundation for the development, reinforcing Antigua and Barbuda’s position as a competitive and attractive destination for strategic investment.
The next phase will include infrastructure development, equipment procurement and operational planning. Initial distribution will target Antigua’s high-end tourism sector, with expansion planned across the Caribbean and into international markets.
This development represents a meaningful step in strengthening the country’s manufacturing base and advancing local production within the regional beverage sector.
