Earlier Report Observations

The chicken meat and offal market in Nicaragua expanded consistently from 145.4 thousand tons in 2018 to 177.5 thousand tons in 2023, supported by rising domestic production and increasing imports. Production grew from 139.8 thousand tons to 163.3 thousand tons over this period, while imports more than doubled from 5.6 thousand tons to 14.2 thousand tons, reflecting stronger supply.

A key driver from 2022 was chicken's role as the most affordable protein source amid rising prices for basic goods, which sustained consumer demand. In 2023, the completion of DR-Cafta tariff eliminations played a direct role: duty-free access for U.S. frozen chicken thighs and legs, along with tariff‑rate quotas for fresh and frozen chicken breasts from the Dominican Republic, boosted import volumes and contributed to market growth.

By 2024, national chicken production increased by 10.1%, ensuring stable supply for domestic consumption. The modernization and expansion of supermarket chains further improved the distribution network for perishable goods, facilitating greater availability of both local and imported chicken products in the market.
