El Salvador: Retail Foods

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Salvadoran retail sector is growing, and increasingly offering innovative and affordable products for consumers. However, challenges and delays in registering processed products has a negative effect on the amount of different products that are imported. In 2017, El Salvador imported $160 million of U.S. consumer-oriented food, a decrease of 6 percent from 2016. Super Selectos continues to be the largest supermarket chain with 99 stores across the country. Best performing categories in 2017 for U.S. consumer-oriented imports to El Salvador were pork/pork products, dairy, snack foods, processed vegetables and condiments/sauces.
