The Atlas reflects Ecuador’s leadership in global agroexports and positions the country as a benchmark in attracting strategic investments that promote equity, decent employment and decent living conditions in rural communities. Ecuador has consolidated its position as one of the region’s leading agrifood economies, being the world’s leading exporter of products such as bananas, shrimp and pitahaya.
The agrifood sector is one of the fundamental pillars of the Ecuadorian economy, contributing 15% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employing one out of every three people in the country. Its importance lies not only in agricultural, livestock and fisheries production, but also in its capacity to generate employment and improve living conditions in rural areas.
The Agroeconomic Atlas of Ecuador offers a comprehensive and updated view of the country’s agricultural production situation. It provides detailed data on agricultural, livestock and aquaculture production, highlighting both primary and processed products, which play a fundamental role in export dynamics and the domestic market. In 2023, Ecuador produced more than 7.2 million tons of agricultural products, excelling in crops such as bananas, cocoa and broccoli, while its fishing industry continues to be a key player in global markets such as the United States, the European Union and Japan
