"... According to figures provided by the president of the Association of Producers and Exporters of Nicaragua (APEN), Guillermo Jacoby, the volume of Nicaragua's exports amounted to 138.4 million kilograms in those 20 days, 10.8 million less than in the same days in April 2017."

Despite the fact that the export volume decreased slightly more than 7%, due to demonstrations and paralysis of activities in some areas affecting the movement of merchandise, the export value registered a slight increase of 1.6%.

Elnuevodiario.com.ni reports that "...The APEN had already reported last week that "during the period from April 19 to 26, when there were tragic events in our country (which left more than 40 people dead in the protests), there was a decrease in exports amounting to a value of US $12.8 million (-16.2%) compared to the same days in the month of April last year'."

Gloomy Prospects for Exports

June 2018

Nicaraguan business leaders estimate that in the months of June and July there will be drastic drops in exports.

In the first five months of the year, the country sold $1.282 billion worth of goods abroad, which is 2% more than what was reported in the same period in 2017. However, the business sector says that this increase was due to the fact that many exporters decided to liquidate most of their inventory at the beginning of the crisis.
