South America Quinoa Seeds Market Analysis

The South America Quinoa Seeds Market size is estimated at USD 80.90 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 100.80 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Quinoa, a traditional staple food of ancient Andean civilizations in South America, is classified as a pseudo-cereal due to its grain-like characteristics and pseudo-oilseed due to its high-fat content. In South America, quinoa cultivation is concentrated in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, with Peru being the primary producer, followed by Bolivia and Ecuador. According to FAOSTAT, Peru and Bolivia dominated global production in 2023, accounting for 99.6% of the world's quinoa output.

The market is experiencing growth due to changing consumption patterns and increasing consumer preference for healthier, gluten-free diets. Quinoa has gained recognition as a superfood in South America and globally. The seeds are rich in dietary fiber, protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals including phosphorus, manganese, iron, magnesium, and zinc. Their gluten-free properties make them easily digestible, attracting health-conscious consumers and driving market expansion.

South America maintains its position as the primary global supplier of quinoa seeds. Peru and Bolivia are projected to maintain their market dominance in both production and exports during the forecast period. Bolivia's National Association of Quinoa Producers (ANAPQUI) implemented the Institutional Strategic Plan 2019-2023 to enhance productivity and commercial growth in domestic and export markets, benefiting over 25,000 farming families. These factors, combined with high production volumes and established export channels, continue to drive market growth.
