El Salvador: Exporter Guide
Link to report:
During 2020, El Salvador imported a little over $632 million of agricultural products, which is a drop of 8 percent compared to 2019. However, the Consumer-oriented foods/beverages category did not register a drop, but a modest increase of 1 percent, having dairy, soups and fresh fruits at the top of the list. A stronger-than-forecasted economic recovery in 2021 may signal growing opportunities for U.S. exporters. The government of El Salvador’s trade facilitation efforts combined with U.S. cooperation resulted in a recent approval of a regulation change to eliminate the requirement of only accepting a Certificate of Free Sale for the imports of low-risk processed foods/beverages (see details in p. 6).
