Earlier Report Observations

The fresh pear market in Bolivia expanded from 4 967 t in 2018 to a peak of 6 181 t in 2020. This growth period aligned with shifts in the pear sector of Argentina, the dominant regional supplier, where evolving global market conditions, rising production costs, and changes in varietal preferences influenced trade flows, potentially affecting the availability and pricing of pears in the Bolivian market.

After 2020, the market volume contracted sharply, falling to 5 166 t in 2021 and then to 3 289 t in 2022, before stabilizing at 3 223 t in 2023. This decline was driven primarily by a steep drop in imports, which receded from over 4 200 t in 2020 to approximately 1 300 t, while domestic production held steady near 1 900 t annually.

In 2024, despite a domestic economic climate marked by persistent inflation and low growth that could pressure consumer demand, regional dynamics supported import activity. Argentine pear exports to Bolivia and other Latin American markets increased, supported by recovering prices and a 7% rise in shipments from the Rio Negro region. Concurrently, pear consumption across Latin America grew by 10%, reinforcing Bolivia's role within the region's expanding trade network.
