Ecuador has started exporting canned tuna to China after these became tariff-free thanks to the trade agreement between both countries that came into force last year, as reported this Friday, February 14, 2025, in a statement by the Ministry of Production, Foreign Trade, Investments and Fisheries.

The entry into force of the free trade agreement between Ecuador and China eliminated the 5% tariff that Ecuadorian canned tuna previously faced when entering the Chinese market.

Thus, tuna joins other Ecuadorian products that already reach China, such as shrimp, coffee, cocoa, and bananas.
