Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh apples, pears and quinces in Bolivia showed significant volatility from 2018 to 2023. After peaking at 44 212 t in 2020, the market contracted to 39 198 t in 2021 and then more than halved to 17 367 t in 2022, stabilizing at 16 284 t in 2023.

Domestic production remained relatively stable, fluctuating around 5 000 t, while imports, which dominated the market, plummeted from 34 439 t in 2021 to 12 500 t in 2022. During this period, regional factors such as increased consumer preference for healthy post-pandemic products and phytosanitary improvements that allowed earlier fruit entry to markets influenced trade flows, but did not prevent the overall supply contraction.

By 2024, imports slightly recovered to 11 974 t, indicating potential stabilization. Low prices for Argentine apples and pears and growth in export treatment capacity may have supported demand, but market volume remained well below pre-crisis levels.
