The Corporación de Exportadores de El Salvador (COEXPORT) has addressed various topics of relevance to the export sector this year through forums designed to exchange ideas and share technical knowledge while also gathering information on the needs of businesses seeking to expand their exports.

This time, COEXPORT focused on Export Requirements by Market, covering topics such as the global environment, neuromarketing, technological innovation, and, most importantly, how to identify the regulations that specific markets require for the products to be exported.


The event began with a presentation on the country’s economic progress, highlighting its dynamic production, strong export performance, and advancements in trade facilitation. The efforts of the export sector were acknowledged, as it has driven growth in 26 of the 32 productive sectors, with outstanding performance in the food, basic metals, rubber, and plastics sectors. It was also emphasized that El Salvador is showing significant growth in new markets such as Colombia, Spain, Haiti, Italy, and India, among others.

In the area of economic diplomacy, the progress achieved by the network of Economic Counselors was shared, including trade promotion, investment attraction, tourism development, negotiation of new economic agreements, and connection to financing sources for strategic projects.


Regarding the global economic environment, the discussion focused on trade fragmentation, the relocation of companies, adjustments in the policies of major powers, and the need to promote structural reforms related to infrastructure, regional integration, the business climate, and productivity. It also addressed the main trends in foreign trade and the new digital tools that will strengthen El Salvador’s connection with international buyers, including business intelligence platforms, market analysis systems, and institutional mechanisms to facilitate compliance with technical and regulatory requirements.
The agenda also included the application of neuromarketing to exporting, highlighting the importance of understanding the cultural, emotional, and psychological factors that influence purchasing decisions in highly competitive markets. COEXPORT presented the progress of the EXPORT TRADE platform, a tool that will be available next year and will facilitate business networking and the generation of new business opportunities, reaffirming its commitment to the growth and competitiveness of the salvadoran export sector. COEXPORT also announced El Salvador’s integration, through COEXPORT, into the global network of Trade Points, which serve as centers for facilitating trade and providing information, and an extensive eTrade Desk platform that helps small and medium-sized enterprises in different regions of the world access international markets through the use of e-commerce and information technologies.
