El Salvador has been dependent on food imports for many years, and food ingredients are no exception. According to the Salvadoran Industrialists Association’s latest industry statistics (2019), food imports registered a total of $882.6 million, which is 17.6% more than in 2018. It is notable that despite the pandemic, which hit most economic sectors hard, El Salvador’s food industry continued steady operations and vegetable oils, flours and starches were the most demanded ingredients, a shift driven by the pandemic.
