What a blessed year for Costa Rican fruit exporters! Like the banana, pineapple exports should reach a historic high point. In late November, volumes had already exceeded 1.95 million tonnes, i.e. 150 000 t more than in 2016 and 250 000 t more than in 2015. They should exceed 2.1 million tonnes, extrapolating the volumes for December. Shipments were up to all destinations, including the EU-28 and USA (+ 70 000 t and + 50 000 t by late November, respectively) or the diversification markets which now represent nearly 6 % of volumes (Eastern Europe, Asia and Central America). This increase in quantities was accompanied by a very slight parallel growth in value of 1 %.
