According to the interactive report, between the beginning of March and the last week of March, the number of Salvadoran consumers visiting supermarkets dropped by 4%. In Honduras, a drop of 11% was reported, in Guatemala the decrease was 14% and in Costa Rica 15%. Panamanian consumers are the most reluctant to make purchases in physical supermarkets, since in the last days of January in Panama there was a 38% drop. This drop is explained by the restrictions on mobility imposed by local authorities. Although the drops in the number of consumers shopping in the physical stores of supermarket chains are still considerable, they are far from the declines of up to 70% that were recorded in April 2020.
