Earlier Report Observations

The frozen sweetcorn market in Central America began the period at 30 475 t in 2018, with climate factors such as droughts and floods affecting local production. Market volume remained stable at 29 911 t in 2019 amid persistent climatic challenges. A sharp contraction to 26 432 t followed in 2020, driven primarily by COVID‑19 pandemic disruptions that hampered supply chains and logistics across the region.

Recovery emerged in 2021 as the market grew to 27 502 t, even while pandemic‑related logistics constraints continued. A stronger rebound in 2022 lifted volume to 30 201 t, supported by increased imports from key trading partners—the United States, Hungary and China—which helped offset ongoing climate‑related pressures on domestic output.

In 2023 the market receded to 28 484 t, reflecting shifts in trade flows and the persistent influence of climatic variability on local supply, against a backdrop of rising corn consumption elsewhere in Latin America.
