History
The Trade Development Branch came into existence in 1972 when the Ministry of Industry and Tourism was first formed, as part of the Business Development Division. It assumed some of the functions of the branches within the Trade and Industry Division of the Department of Trade and Development, although it had no immediate predecessor.
The branch existed only briefly. In 1974, the Ministry of Industry and Tourism was restructured, and the Trade Development Branch was replaced with the International Marketing Branch, which then formed part of a new Division of Trade.
