Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh globe artichokes in Costa Rica showed remarkable stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual production hovering between 27 420 kg and 27 880 kg. A modest increase of 1.7% in 2019 was followed by slight declines of less than 1% in the following years, indicating a mature and consistent domestic supply.

Market infrastructure developments provided a supportive backdrop. By 2024, the National Center for Food Supply and Distribution (CENADA) operated as a key wholesale hub, streamlining the national logistics for fresh produce like artichokes and potentially reducing commercialization costs. Concurrently, the strengthening of local fresh and organic produce markets through farmers' fairs fostered consumer interest in fresh vegetables, creating a favorable demand environment.

The absence of recorded imports or exports throughout the period underscores that local production reliably met domestic consumption, contributing to the market's steady annual volume around 27 600 kg.
