El Salvador: Food Processing Ingredients

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

El Salvador is the regional leader in the production and export of snacks, juices and carbonated beverages. There are about 10,800 processing facilities, and the food and beverage-manufacturing sector plays a key role in the Salvadoran economy, contributing over 6 percent to GDP. El Salvador stands in a good position to increase growth in this sector because of better transportation infrastructure than neighboring countries, and available land for construction of production and distribution centers. Growing market segments include meats, dairy, condiments and sauces.
