Earlier Report Observations

The persimmon market in MERCOSUR expanded in 2018 and 2019, supported by the bloc's accelerated intra-regional trade growth and institutional strengthening, which facilitated agricultural product flows. Ongoing negotiations for a free trade agreement with the European Union further improved market access prospects during this period.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and logistics, causing a temporary market contraction. Recovery followed in 2021 as progress in harmonizing technical regulations for agri-food products eased trade barriers and supported renewed growth in production and market volume.

Political tensions between Argentina and Brazil introduced uncertainty in 2022, slowing integration efforts and contributing to a market decline. By 2023, a modest recovery emerged, driven by rising consumer demand for fresh and organic foods and continued momentum toward regional trade facilitation.
