They actually do: most Latin American countries export Natural Resources, such as crude petroleum, wheat, corn, beef, iron, bauxite, silver and gold. It is just that many of them reserve to themselves the right to extract such resources. A good example is Mexico, which has its own state-owned oil company, Pemex; everything else is mined, cultivated or processed through private companies, which in many cases are foreign-owned. Some examples include Dowa Mining, Arcus Development and Abot Mining, which are gold mining companies -- currently operating in Mexico -- coming from Japan, Canada and the United States, respectively.
