Earlier Report Observations

The Uruguayan market for canary seeds demonstrated relative stability over the 2018-2023 period, with total volume oscillating within a range of approximately 4,100 to 4,400 t. After reaching a peak of 4,419 t in 2019, market size dipped to 4,138 t in 2020 before recovering and stabilizing around 4,200 t in the subsequent years.

Domestic production remained steady at about 3,800 t annually, indicating consistent output from local growers. Imports showed greater variability, from a high of 642 t in 2019 to a low of 364 t in 2020, directly influencing the total market volume available to consumers. The market's resilience was evident as it returned to 4,263 t by 2023.

The absence of exports throughout the period meant that domestic production and imports solely determined market size. Fluctuations in import volumes, rather than shifts in domestic output, were the primary driver of year-to-year changes in total market supply.
