Nicaragua: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NU2023-0012
The United States exported a record $540 million of agricultural and related products to Nicaragua in 2022, fueled largely by record-high remittances from Nicaraguan migrants. Nicaragua relies on U.S. supplies of food and agricultural products for food security and for agricultural sector operations despite deteriorating political and economic conditions under the Ortega-Murillo regime. U.S. suppliers of pork, poultry meat, corn, rice, and a wide variety of processed foods have overcome considerable, persistent challenges to succeed in today's Nicaraguan market.
