Earlier Report Observations
The market volume for not roasted and not cooked groundnuts in Uruguay showed variability from 2018 to 2022, starting at 2 163 t in 2018, declining to 2 091 t in 2019, and then growing steadily to a peak of 2 271 t by 2022. The increase in 2022 represented a stabilization, with minimal growth over the previous year.
In 2023, market volume contracted sharply to 2 076 t, a drop of over 8%. This decline coincided with an influx of Brazilian peanuts that captured a significant share of the local market, reducing import volumes and leaving domestic production with limited buyers. Typically, over 90% of peanuts consumed in Uruguay are imported, and the surge of Brazilian peanuts displaced both imports and local sales.
For 2024, efforts to obtain sanitary certification for a plant selling gluten-free products nationwide indicated regulatory moves that could broaden access to specialty foods. The local peanut market remained active, but the ongoing presence of Brazilian peanuts continued to pressure domestic producers, with imports staying low at 202 t.
