Panama: Retail Foods Guide 2018

  |   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. Panama is one of the top markets for U.S. consumer oriented products in Central America. Each year Panamanian importers keep up with the food retail industry and new trends by attending USDA endorsed food trade shows. U.S. consumer-oriented products exported to Panama from January through December 2017 amounted to $647.9 million. In recent years, the consumption of more health conscious food has significantly contributed to increased U.S. exports of consumer-oriented products. These products had nutrient claims, such as low fat, low sodium, gluten free, baked and sugar free. In addition, an increase in dual-income households has resulted in a growing demand for ready-to-eat frozen and prepared foods.
