Costa Rica continues to see record years. 2016 had provided a clean break from 2015, a year blighted by climate problems relating to El Niño (heavy floods in June and July in particular). As for 2017, it confirms the growth dynamic of the sector, with exports of 125 million boxes (+ 4 % on 2016). It is above all the appetite of US consumers which explains this fine performance. While shipments to the EU-28 and the rest of Europe remained practically stable, those to North America rose by 15 %. The economic balance is rosy too, with the fall in the colon against the dollar helping offset the slight drop in the FOB price (- 2 % on 2016).
