The Corporación de Exportadores de El Salvador (Coexport), through its web page, informed that El Salvador has positioned itself as a key player in regional trade, by mobilizing more than US$1.7 billion in goods through the Central American Single Declaration F (DUCA-F). This platform facilitates the exchange of goods originating in the region, boosting trade among Central American countries.
According to a recent report by the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration (SIECA), the country executes 20.4% of the DUCA-F transactions in Central America. This represents approximately 89,000 transactions, highlighting its role in regional trade.
At the regional level, the DUCA-F continues to be the main instrument for exporting products within Central America. Guatemala leads transactions with 44.8%, while Costa Rica and Honduras also have an important share in trade operations with other countries in the region.
Consumer goods are the most exported by El Salvador, representing half of the goods moved. Among the most important products are toilet paper and other paper products, which lead exports to neighboring countries.
At the regional level, DUCA-F mobilizes goods totaling more than US$8.6 billion, with El Salvador contributing significantly to this amount. Other countries, such as Nicaragua and Panama, have also registered important exports within this same platform.
Each country has its key products, such as the electrical cables that El Salvador exports to Costa Rica, or the beef that Nicaragua sends to other markets. Trade integration continues to advance through the use of DUCA-F declarations, strengthening economic ties in the region.
