In 2025, Ecuador achieved a significant milestone with non-oil and non-mining exports exceeding $25 billion, specifically totaling $25.202 billion. This represents a growth of 16% from 2024, as reported by the Ecuadorian Exporters Federation (Fedexpor) based on figures from the Central Bank of Ecuador. The increase in exports was not only in terms of monetary value but also in volume, with 12.935 million tons exported throughout the year, reflecting a 9% increase.

The agricultural and agro-industrial sectors emerged as the most dynamic contributors to this record, generating $12.088 billion in exports with a growth rate of 17%. Following closely were the aquaculture and fishing sectors, which recorded $10.8 billion in exports, also experiencing a 17% growth. Additionally, the manufacturing sector showed positive trends, contributing to the overall increase in non-oil and non-mining exports, thus indicating a robust performance across various industries within Ecuador's economy.

This growth is significant as it underscores Ecuador's expanding presence in global markets, particularly within its agricultural and aquaculture sectors. Such a trajectory can enhance the country’s economic stability and attractiveness for foreign investments, while also showcasing the potential for diversification away from oil and mining revenues. As non-oil sectors take the lead, Ecuador could leverage this momentum for future trade negotiations and international partnerships.
