Earlier Report Observations

After reaching 4 645 t in 2018, the market volume for not roasted and not cooked groundnuts in Costa Rica declined to 4 299 t in 2019 and further to 4 186 t in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 affected the economy and consumption, contributing to this contraction. Earlier in the period, a study highlighted that legume consumption among Costa Rican youth averaged around 82.8 grams per day, indicating a steady interest in pulses within the local diet.

From 2021, the market rebounded, growing to 4 592 t, then to 4 935 t in 2022, and reaching 5 712 t in 2023. This recovery was supported by the growth and innovation in Costa Rica's food export sector, which includes agri-food products. In 2022, increased consumer spending and trade policy changes, such as tariff reductions with the United States and Peru, facilitated market expansion. Additionally, a continued focus on healthy eating habits helped sustain demand despite broader economic pressures.
