Earlier Report Observations

The market for unfermented grapefruit juice in Costa Rica demonstrated stability from 2018 to 2023, with total volume oscillating between 5 015 thousand liters and 5 144 thousand liters. Consumption saw a minor contraction in 2019 before recovering in 2020 and reaching its highest point in 2021.

Domestic production, consistently around 5 000 thousand liters per year, formed the backbone of supply. Import volumes, while variable, remained a small complement to local output, and exports were negligible throughout the period.

Recent market dynamics are influenced by a clear consumer shift toward natural and health-conscious products. This is evidenced by the presence of items like Florida's Natural grapefruit juice, which highlights no added sugars or preservatives, aligning with broader trends favoring vitamin-rich foods and organic options.
