Shipping your product around in Nicaragua

Manufacturing in Nicaragua can be very lucrative for you if you have a product your looking to assemble or build. Currently there is a wiring harness manufacturing plant outside of Leòn. All of the workers live outside the plant in a small neighborhood. If you have a product that you are thinking about manufacturing here keep in mind that skilled labor will need to be taught. This can be a long process. Make sure you have quick access to a good road system. Do not start your business where you will have a difficult time moving your product. Keep in mind the road system in Nicaragua is not perfect and you will often have delays. Your not allowed to move your vehicle from the road if you have an accident so imagine what the roads can be like if there is one. The line of traffic goes pretty far back and your stuck just waiting there. You can try to have alternative routes and this may work but don't rely on it. There are several ports you can ship out of. The biggest port however is in Corinto. This port is on the Pacific side right next to Leòn on the map. Seeing that both sides of the country touch the water you shouldn't have a problem finding a port. Remember that Nicaragua has several small ports but maneuvering products around some ports is easier than others. Do your research on which port to use. Do not assume. In Corinto, they have a population of 17,000 and can handle bulk, liquid, cars, etc. They have a full service container business set up there. You can ship and receive here with little headaches.
