Panama: Between Harvests - Panama's Precarious Rice Supply

This report evaluates the critical status of Panama's rice supply chain for the 2026 cycle. Data from the National Association of Rice Millers (ANALMO) and the Agricultural Marketing Institute (IMA) indicate a structural deficit during the third quarter (Q3). To prevent a national stockout, Panama must navigate a complex landscape of local production cycles and inventory depletion, high per-capita demand, and restrictive import rules.
