Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for flour or powder of fruits and nuts in El Salvador held steady at around 21 000 kg in 2018 and 2019, then saw a moderate contraction to 19 991 kg in 2020. During the earlier part of the period, the market was characterized by a highly concentrated structure dominated by two major milling companies, with international wheat shortages and rising global demand influencing prices.

A sharp expansion began in 2021, lifting the market volume to 31 127 kg. This growth accelerated in the following years, reaching 34 069 kg by 2023. The key driver was a series of government measures to reduce food costs, including the 2022 elimination of import tariffs on basic goods like flours, fruits, and vegetables. This policy made imported ingredients more affordable, which was crucial as local grain production hit multi-year lows due to the ripple effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, high input costs, and inflation.

While full market volume data beyond 2023 is unavailable, import figures indicate a continued reliance on foreign supply. Imports of fruit and nut products surged to 73 386 kg in 2024 before moderating in 2025. The government extended the tariff exemption for 120 essential products, including flours, for a ten-year period in 2025, reinforcing the trend of import-driven market growth and supporting direct sales channels like agromarkets to improve consumer access.
