Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for mandarins, clementines, tangelos and citrus hybrids in El Salvador experienced substantial expansion from 2018 to 2023, growing from 8.2 thousand tons to 26.3 thousand tons. This represented a more than threefold increase over the six-year period, with the most rapid growth occurring between 2018 and 2021.

This market growth was overwhelmingly fueled by a sharp rise in domestic production, which soared from 7.0 thousand tons to 24.4 thousand tons. Imports remained a secondary source of supply, fluctuating within a range of 1.0 to 1.9 thousand tons annually and thus contributing a smaller portion to the total market volume.

Following the period of rapid expansion, the market's growth rate moderated from 2021 onward. The volume increased from 24.9 thousand tons in 2021 to 26.3 thousand tons in 2023, a period characterized by a stabilization in the pace of production gains.
