The apricot market in Ecuador demonstrated consistent stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volumes moving within a narrow range of 358 to 361 t. Market size started at 358.2 t in 2018, held the same level in 2019, then saw a modest rise to 359.6 t in 2020. A slight contraction followed in 2021 and 2022 before reaching a peak of 360.8 t in 2023.
