Costa Rica Cooking and Edible Oils Market 2025

The Costa Rica cooking and edible oils market is on track for a substantial increase of USD 80.4 million, indicating a CAGR of roughly 6.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030. Costa Rica’s cooking and edible oils market in 2024 expanded moderately, influenced by the country’s strong emphasis on health, sustainability, and environmental consciousness. Local consumers increasingly favored oils perceived as healthier, such as olive oil and sunflower oil, while demand for hydrogenated oils continued to decline. The rise in lifestyle diseases, including obesity and cardiovascular issues, prompted many families to switch to oils with higher unsaturated fat content and antioxidant properties. Educational initiatives and food labeling regulations also helped reinforce consumer awareness of nutritional value.

Import dependency remained high, particularly for olive oil and other specialty oils, but a growing number of retailers capitalized on this trend by importing a wider selection of international brands. Meanwhile, domestic production—mainly of palm oil—continued to satisfy industrial and low-cost household demand. Producers began investing in more sustainable and organic palm oil practices to align with the country’s green brand image. Tourism growth also contributed to demand in the hospitality sector, especially in hotels and resorts that catered to health-conscious international visitors. This created opportunities for premium oils to be used in both food preparation and retail offerings within the hospitality industry.
