Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for dried shelled peas in Uruguay showed moderate fluctuation between 2 736 t and 2 848 t from 2018 to 2023. A steady increase from 2 758 t in 2018 to 2 818 t in 2020 was followed by a drop to 2 736 t in 2021, primarily due to the onset of exports reaching 68 t coupled with lower imports. The market rebounded to 2 848 t in 2022 as imports climbed to 85 t, before declining to 2 763 t in 2023.

A severe drought in 2022-2023 negatively impacted Uruguay's broader agricultural output, including rain-fed crops, which placed constraints on production and likely influenced the dried pea supply chain. This period also highlighted the sector's vulnerability to climate variability, underpinned by national policies for sustainable soil management. In 2024, the Ministry of Environment proposed stricter water management rules and new discharge permits for agro-industrial plants, setting a regulatory framework that may affect future processing and production operations.
