Earlier Report Observations

The Paraguayan fresh pear market, heavily reliant on imports, reached its highest volume at 7 937 t in 2021 after rising from 7 046 t in 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted supply chains and altered consumption, contributing to a spike in imports. Subsequently, increased production costs due to higher global fertilizer prices made imported pears more competitive, supporting further market growth through 2021.

Structural challenges such as concentration on few fruit varieties and producers shifting to more profitable crops limited domestic pear output. While investments in infrastructure like the Banana Route improved fruit logistics, the pear market contracted sharply to 6 597 t in 2022 before stabilizing around 6 600 t in 2023. Persistent varietal concentration and inadequate year‑round supply planning kept the market susceptible to volatility.
