Costa Rica: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CS2024-0006
Though relatively small, the Costa Rican food processing sector relies on U.S. exporters to maintain critical supply chains. Proximity, reliability, and familiarity help make the United States the preferred supplier for a wide range of food processing ingredients, including wheat, corn, and animal proteins. U.S. agricultural and related products exports to Costa Rica exceeded $1 billion in 2023, despite global logistics challenges and associated increased shipping costs.
