There are several reasons why one should consider investing abroad. Here are a few:
Diversification – International investing helps investors to spread their investment risk among foreign companies and markets. As a result, you’re money is not tied to one country’s economy.
Growth – Producing agricultural property is extremely expensive in the US. You can take advantage of the potential for growth and equity appreciation in these emerging markets.
Asset Protection – Transferring a portion of your assets to an entity that holds it outside of your home country can further help to shield your assets from predators.
Confidentiality – Many offshore jurisdictions offer the complimentary benefit of secrecy legislation. These countries have enacted laws establishing strict corporate and banking confidentiality. If this confidentiality is breached, there are serious consequences for the offending party.

Belize happens to be geographically positioned in this zone, therefore having the perfect weather conditions needed for its growth.
