IPD | Ecuador: Export to Europe

Ecuador has much to offer

EXPORT AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

Hardly any other IPD partner country offers as wide a range of products for the European market as Ecuador. Its different climate zones offer ideal conditions for the cultivation of many products which potential trading partners in Europe need and want:

Medicinal and aromatic plants - European consumers are increasingly demanding pure herbal medicines and cosmetics. There is also great export potential for dried fruits, herbs, spices, vegetable oil - obtained from Ecuador's diverse flora.
Tropical fruits and fresh vegetables (especially organic produce) are also in high demand.
Similarly, wood products from teak to bamboo (from verifiably legal sources) are requested on the European market.
Colorful cut flowers - especially roses from the highlands of Ecuador are coveted by European customers.
The beauty of Ecuador has also become common knowledge around the world. European travelers want tourism offers that are environmentally friendly and socially responsible. By offering sustainable and innovative products including nature, culture and adventure tours, Ecuadorian tourism companies can increase their presence in the European tourism market.

IPD commitment in Ecuador

IPD has been active in Ecuador since 2018 and supports enterprises from the product groups of natural ingredients, fresh produce, sustainable wood, cut flowers, and sustainable tourism in accessing the European market. The agricultural sector in Ecuador is of major significance. It is a very important source of income and provides food security. At the same time, farming also has great potential for combating poverty – both through job creation and generation of income. This is also true of tourism: as a work-intensive sector, it makes an important contribution to effective economic development.
IPD aims to work with small and medium-sized enterprises to harness the country’s natural potential, benefit from Europe as a profitable target market and find partners to establish sustainable business relationships.
