GLOBAL - Costa Rica Market Study Service

The United States Department of Agriculture is seeking a contractor to conduct a comprehensive market study analyzing the potential for selling peanut products in Costa Rica. The agency needs to understand the food, business, and retail systems specifically for the snack nut and spreads industries in the target country. The selected vendor must analyze product usage trends, market segmentation, and consumer behavior insights, including when and how consumers eat peanuts and peanut butter. The scope of work requires gathering data on per capita consumption, shopping patterns, consumer income, and snacking trends. The contractor must also provide an overview of internal Costa Rican peanut production and the domestic industry if it is relevant to the market. Ultimately, the agency requires a final recommendation outlining potential market entry strategies for US peanut products. The opportunity is open to worldwide global bidders. The contractor will perform all work offsite, and the agency is accepting digital proposal submissions via email or through their online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of the study.
