Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for fresh carrots and turnips in Ecuador increased from 42 758 t to 43 573 t. This growth was supported by an average annual overproduction of 307 t of yellow carrots in Carchi province, which prompted local producers to seek international commercialization channels, notably for export to Belgium. Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock organized technical visits for Ecuadorian farmers to learn advanced post-harvest and packaging practices from Spanish producers, enhancing the quality and export potential of domestic output.

After a slight decrease to 42 769 t in 2020, the market stabilized between 43 000 t and 43 125 t from 2021 through 2023. This stability occurred despite systematic risks in the agricultural sector, such as local land taxes and infrastructure gaps, which constrained production expansion. During this period, public bank lending to the agro-industrial sector provided financial support to growers, while phytosanitary regulations and quality controls maintained market access standards.
