Accumulative goods exports in Costa Rica through November this year totaled $13.316 billion, 25% more than the same period in 2020. The figure is a new goods-export record for the country.
The record was broken thanks to every sector delivering a positive performance, most of them reaching double figures. Exports in the food industry grew by 26%. The statistics were released by Costa Rica's Foreign Trade Promoter (PROCOMER).
The agricultural sector, the second largest sector with a 21% share of the total, grew in produce such as pineapple (+13%), frozen fruit (+43%) and ornamental plants (+31%). Other non-traditional agricultural products contributing to the growth are: chayote (+14%), mango (+49%), coconut (+146%), dried pineapple (+33%), papaya (+108%) and banana (+103%); as well as other tubers such as cassava (+3%).
