Costa Rica: Retail Foods Annual
Link to report:
The dynamic Costa Rican retail sector reflects the country's growing economy and increasing demand for new products. Consumers are influenced by tourism, culinary trends, and social media, with higher-end consumers paying premiums for healthy products and environmentally sustainable packaging. Outside the Greater Metropolitan Area, retail stores tend to be smaller, but a growing number of retailers in high-tourism areas are expanding their imported product portfolios in response to the fast-growing vacation rental segment of the tourism sector. In 2023, U.S. exports of consumer-oriented products reached a record-high level of $462 million.
