Costa Rica’s banana, coffee, juice, and fruit concentrate exports have lost global market share over the past decade due to rising competition.

Costa Rica’s once-dominant position in global banana, coffee, and juice exports is slipping. Over the last ten years, the country has steadily lost ground in all three categories, as competitors from Asia, Africa, and Central America ramp up production and exports. This decline is backed by hard trade data, showing not just shrinking percentages—but also shifting consumer demand and supply chain dynamics that are leaving Costa Rican producers behind.
