Earlier Report Observations
The palm-kernel oilcake market in Ecuador opened the period at 81,200 t in 2018, supported by a consolidated sector with approximately 2,500 producers and 38 extraction plants spread across key provinces. A growing industry focus on environmental management, including the implementation of wastewater treatment plants and the use of solid waste for composting and energy, contributed to a recovery in market volume to 63,900 t in 2020 following a decline the previous year.
Market volume then entered a phase of contraction, falling to 50,076 t by 2023. This downward trend coincided with a reported 16% decrease in overall palm sector sales and exports in 2023, influenced by global factors such as international prices and demand. Throughout these years, the industry sustained investments in renewable energy and extraction process improvements to bolster competitiveness and environmental compliance.
For 2024, the sector continues to prioritize investments in clean technologies and environmental management systems, while maintaining active international trade for oilcake with major export destinations including the United States, India, and China.
