Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for peaches and nectarines in Ecuador showed significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023, rising from 6 786 t to a peak of 8 359 t in 2020 before contracting to 7 377 t by 2023. Domestic production remained stable at around 4 550 t throughout the period, meaning changes in import volumes were the primary driver of market size movements.

The peak in 2020 coincided with a reported global decline in peach and nectarine production caused by adverse weather conditions, which affected supply chains and likely influenced trade dynamics. Despite this worldwide reduction, Ecuador's imports surged that year, contributing to the record market volume. Subsequent years saw import levels normalize, bringing the market closer to its pre-2020 size.

Broader trends such as growing consumer preference for fresh and organic fruits, along with Ecuador's active participation in international fruit fairs to seek new commercial opportunities, provided a supportive backdrop for the market during the latter part of the period.
