Ecuador is one of the rapidly growing dried fruit import markets in South America. Dried apricots (damascos) are primarily imported from premium German brands such as Seeberger and Schmitt Sohne. According to recorded customs data, the highest CIF value transaction was $20,691.71, completed by Corporacion Delico CIA. LTDA.

Distribuidora Comercial Del Norte Tricomnor S.A. stands out as an active dried apricot importer in Ecuador. This company imported both 200g and 125g packaged dried apricot products from Seeberger GmbH in Germany, demonstrating a consistent demand for premium packaged snacks. Analysis of CIF values reveals that branded, retail-ready packaged products command higher unit prices compared to bulk dried apricot shipments. The Hemisphere Group Inc., based in the United States, serves as another key supplier providing more standard product types under the general description "damascos".
Dried apricots are rich in vitamin A, iron, and potassium, making them a highly nutritious food product. Ecuador's tropical climate limits local apricot cultivation, creating a strong dependency on international supply chains to meet domestic demand. The growing health awareness and expanding healthy snack market in Ecuador have driven steady growth in dried apricot imports over recent years. The Port of Guayaquil serves as the primary entry point for these imports, functioning as Ecuador's main maritime gateway for food product shipments from Europe and North America.
The leading dried apricot importers in Ecuador include Corporacion Delico CIA. LTDA. and Distribuidora Comercial Del Norte Tricomnor S.A. Corporacion Delico holds the highest single CIF import value at $20,691.71 and has conducted multiple import transactions. Tricomnor completed 3 separate import transactions totaling $7,613.04 in CIF value, sourcing exclusively from German suppliers. Both companies operate primarily in the Guayaquil metropolitan area, Ecuador's largest city and main commercial hub on the Pacific coast.
Ecuador's dried apricot imports are primarily sourced from Germany and the United States. German suppliers including Schmitt Sohne GmbH and Seeberger GmbH dominate the premium packaged segment with branded products in 125g and 200g retail formats. The Hemisphere Group Inc. from the United States supplies bulk dried apricots under the general Spanish product description "damascos". Germany's strong presence reflects Ecuador's appetite for European-quality food products, particularly in the healthy snacks category.
Ecuador dried apricot imports use Spanish-language product descriptions on customs declarations. "Albaricoq Suav Deshid S/Sem" refers to soft-dried apricot without seed (pitted), representing premium-grade products. "Albaricoq Deshidrat S/Sem" denotes standard dried apricot without seed. "Damascos" is the most common general term used for dried apricots across all import records. Products are typically imported in 125g and 200g retail packaging formats, primarily under the Seeberger brand name from Germany.
Recorded customs data shows 5 import transactions totaling $43,870 in CIF value for dried apricots entering Ecuador. The single highest CIF transaction reached $20,691.71, executed by Corporacion Delico. The average CIF value per transaction is approximately $8,774, though this figure is skewed by the large single transaction. Smaller transactions from Seeberger range between $2,048 and $2,868. CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) includes the product cost, marine insurance premium, and ocean freight shipping charges to the destination port in Ecuador.
CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) is a widely used Incoterms delivery condition in international trade. Under CIF terms, the seller is responsible for paying the product cost, arranging and paying for marine cargo insurance, and covering the ocean freight charges to transport goods to the named port of destination. The CIF price encompasses all costs up to the buyer's designated port but does not include import duties, customs clearance fees, local taxes, or inland transportation costs within the buyer's country, which remain the responsibility of the importing company.
