Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for fresh pumpkins, squash and gourds in Bolivia dipped in 2019 to 23 731 tons, a decline influenced by a market saturated with imported products that reduced the competitiveness of local production. Recovery followed in 2020, with volume reaching 24 570 tons, as the continued emphasis on sanitary and food safety standards under Ley Nº 830 provided stability for domestic cultivation.

Over 2021 to 2023, market size showed minor variations, remaining close to 24 500 tons. This stability was supported by regulatory reinforcement in 2022 via Supreme Decree No. 4731, which updated and strengthened agro-sanitary controls. Concurrently, a growing consumer interest in healthy and organic produce helped sustain demand for local output.

Labeling rules, including mandatory GMO labeling established by Supreme Decree No. 2452, set quality frameworks for the market. The global launch of improved pumpkin seed varieties by companies like Enza Zaden also represented a potential technological influence, although the direct impact in Bolivia was moderated by the predominance of local seed use and family farming systems.
