Earlier Report Observations

The coconut oilcake market in El Salvador saw considerable fluctuation between 2018 and 2023. Production volume dropped sharply from 1,216 tonnes in 2018 to a low of 593 tonnes in 2020, before a steady recovery brought output to 766 tonnes by 2023. Market size closely tracked domestic production, as imports and exports were minimal throughout these years.

By 2024, the market landscape featured the significant state-influenced El Jobal cooperative on Espíritu Santo Island, a major industrial producer of coconut oil and meal with extensive plantations. New mandatory technical regulations for food, including updated labeling requirements under RTCA 67.01.07:10 and sanitary registration rules, came into force, shaping the legal framework for market participants. Global factors, such as supply chain disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, were noted as impacting agricultural input costs in the region.

These regulatory changes coincided with evolving consumer preferences towards health and labeling transparency, further defining the operating environment for coconut oilcake in El Salvador during the latter part of the period.
