The fall in Costa Rican pineapple exports, which started in 2019 and reached its height during a catastrophic 2020, seems to finally be over. Shipments got going again in 2021! Over the first eleven months of the year, they were up across all destinations by 10 % from 2020, at 7 % above the two-year average, a level approaching the record from 2018. And the recovery has extended to all the markets. In the USA, the main outlet, volumes were 10 % up from 2020, indeed they exceeded the supply levels from the previous record, set in 2018. While the EU27+UK also saw a rise, levels nonetheless remained below those seen in 2019 and 2018. Finally, we have to note the marked progress registered by other destinations, with the supply up by 30 % from last year.
