The global export of prepared or preserved palm hearts in 2023 was dominated by Ecuador, contributing the majority of the total export value. Bolivia and Costa Rica followed, albeit at much lower values. Among exporters, Germany, the United Kingdom, and especially Chile showcased notable growth rates. Conversely, declines were observed in Costa Rica, Colombia, and notably in Lebanon and South Africa. The overall compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years reflects a dynamic market with geographic variations in performance.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Ecuador's maintaining dominance in the export market.
- Potential growth in the Middle East and African regions, especially the United Arab Emirates.
- The increasing diversification of import destinations and the impact of sustainability practices on production and trade.
