Earlier Report Observations

Production of fresh leguminous vegetables in Bolivia increased gradually from 62 960 t in 2018 to 64 569 t in 2021. This growth occurred against a backdrop of persistently low domestic availability of fruits and vegetables, which likely incentivized local production to meet consumer demand. The Bolivian community's strong involvement in vegetable production and marketing in neighboring Argentina, where they control a significant portion of the supply chain, may have also supported knowledge transfer and regional market integration.

After peaking in 2021, production edged down to 63 912 t in 2022 and then fell more sharply to 58 243 t in 2023. The market continued to be shaped by the dominance of multinational companies in Bolivia's processed food sector, which influences overall supply dynamics for agricultural products. The pronounced contraction in 2023 marked a significant departure from the earlier trend of modest expansion.
