Earlier Report Observations
The market for fresh leguminous vegetables in Uruguay showed relative stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volumes fluctuating between 1 066 t and 1 116 t. After a dip in 2019, consumption recovered and reached its highest point in 2023 at 1 116 t, indicating a resilient domestic production base given minimal import activity.
In 2021, national efforts aligned with the FAO's International Year of Fruits and Vegetables emphasized reducing post-harvest losses and improving supply chain efficiency for fresh produce. This focus on minimizing waste helped maintain available market volumes despite minor annual fluctuations.
By 2024, further measures were implemented to strengthen the market framework, including the launch of a 'Smart List' promoting in-season fruit and vegetable purchases and the inauguration of a modern wholesale market. These steps aimed to organize the sector, inform consumers, and support overall market development.
