Earlier Report Observations

In 2018, production of cauliflowers and broccoli in Ecuador reached 188.1 thousand tons, benefiting from favorable climatic conditions in the Andean provinces that enabled high yields. However, export competitiveness was constrained by a 14.9% tariff disadvantage in the U.S. market compared to competitors like Mexico and Guatemala. Output declined to 169.7 thousand tons in 2019 as regional competition intensified, with neighboring countries receiving institutional support to access international markets. The market rebounded to 183.2 thousand tons in 2020, propelled by rising global demand for healthy and organic produce, fueled by consumer trends focused on health and sustainability.

Production fell sharply to 129.8 thousand tons in 2021, a period that saw investments in agricultural diversification, including the development of new crops such as kale and carrots. Ecuador's inherent advantage of year-round production continued to support export potential. In 2022, market size edged up to 135.2 thousand tons as broccoli exports strengthened their position within the country's non-oil export basket, driven by geographic and climatic benefits. By 2023, production surged to 197.2 thousand tons, marking a significant recovery and underscoring the sector's resilience.
