Earlier Report Observations

The Bolivian dried shelled chickpea market opened the period with a volume of 669.6 tons in 2018, a level supported by the country's significant production potential, including reported yields of up to 3.9 tons per hectare. This was followed by a decline in 2019, with the market shrinking to 525 tons, and a further slight decrease to 514 tons in 2020.

Market volume stabilized around 514-515 tons in 2021. During this year, the government enacted Supreme Decree No. 4579 and modified tax law Article 6, regulations designed to facilitate the import of capital goods and agricultural machinery for the agro-industrial sector. These policy measures likely set the stage for subsequent production improvements. Their impact materialized in 2022, when the market grew to 576.5 tons. This increase was aided by the modernization of farming equipment, with Brazil supplying 63% of Bolivia's agricultural machinery imports that year.

In 2023, the market volume receded to 537.2 tons.
