Panama: Retail Foods

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report provides information to U.S. exporters of agricultural and related products on how to do business with the retail food sector in Panama. The sudden and ongoing shutdown of economic activities in Panama to address the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has forced the sector to adapt and innovate with e-commerce and delivery platforms. In the short and medium term, consumers are expected to stay at home more and consequently eat more meals at home. Panama will continue to be one of the top markets for U.S. consumer-oriented products in Central America.
