Earlier Report Observations

Production of raw or retted, not spun flax in MERCOSUR showed a gradual upward trend from 2 518 t in 2018 to 2 600 t in 2023, reflecting overall market expansion. The most notable increase occurred in 2023, when output rose by 45 t to reach 2 600 t, following a period of relative stability between 2019 and 2022 where annual volumes hovered near 2 550 t.

Regional trade dynamics and policy developments influenced the market environment during this period. In 2021, Uruguay's move to negotiate individual trade agreements outside MERCOSUR and internal bloc tensions introduced uncertainty, yet production continued its slow climb. The following year, MERCOSUR achieved a record high in total goods trade volume, exceeding $752.6 billion, which bolstered regional economic activity and likely supported demand for industrial inputs like flax. Concurrently, accelerated negotiations with the European Union, particularly concerning the environmental standards of the European Green Deal, highlighted evolving trade requirements that could affect future market access for agricultural products.
