Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2024, Panama's market for coconuts, Brazil nuts, and cashews showed consistent growth in both production and total market volume. Production rose gradually from 15 610 t in 2018 to 15 967 t in 2021, then surged by over 20% to 19 208 t in 2022, where it remained in 2023. The overall market size followed a similar pattern, reaching 19 313 t in 2023, up 23% from 15 679 t in 2018.

Despite this expansion, the cashew segment faced phytosanitary issues that limited Panama's export competitiveness, as noted in 2020. Regional trade data from 2022 indicated Panama was not a significant exporter, suggesting a market still reliant on imports for certain nuts, yet domestic production and consumption continued to grow throughout the period.
