Nicaragua: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NU2022-0015

U.S. food and agricultural exports though the first nine months of 2022 were nearly $500 million – outpacing record highs in 2021 by 30 percent – on higher commodity prices and sustained demand for U.S. feed grains. Nicaragua’s response to high pathogenicity avian influenza in the United States and continued deterioration of political and economic conditions in Nicaragua injected additional uncertainty into already challenging conditions for U.S. exporters in 2022. Nicaragua will continue to rely on imported products to complement and supplement local production in 2023, creating opportunities for U.S. exporters amid record-setting rates of outward migration and increased sanctions against the Ortega-Murillo regime.
