Halloween: Importación de chocolate y demás preparaciones alimenticias que contengan cacao (HTS1806)

Durante el año 2025, las importaciones de chocolate y demás preparaciones alimenticias que contengan cacao (HTS 1806) en Puerto Rico mostraron una tendencia creciente durante la segunda mitad del año. A partir de julio, cuando se registraron $8.5 millones, el valor de las importaciones aumentó progresivamente, alcanzando $9.2 millones en agosto, $10.5 millones en septiembre y un máximo de $12.5 millones en octubre. Este comportamiento coincide con el periodo previo a las festividades de Halloween, cuando estos productos suelen tener una mayor presencia en el mercado.

Las estadísticas de comercio exterior permiten conocer el comportamiento de los bienes que ingresan a Puerto Rico, identificar tendencias y analizar sus países de origen. Estos datos ayudan a las empresas a planificar sus operaciones, anticipar cambios en el mercado e identificar oportunidades de negocio a partir del comportamiento de las importaciones.

Episode 2 of Season 2 of “The Institute of Statistics: The Podcast”

Episode 2 of the second season of The Institute of Statistics: The Podcast is now available!

Access Episode 2 of Season 2 of “The Institute of Statistics: The Podcast.”

In this new episode, Dr. Idania Rodríguez Ayuso, Deputy Executive Director of the Institute, discusses “The Silence That Precedes Homicide,” as part of the Collective Action for Violence Prevention in Puerto Rico Symposium.

In the second half of 2024, 2,149 domestic violence cases were evaluated in Puerto Rico. The statistic is devastating: 1 in 4 complainants faces an imminent risk of death. Risk assessment is not just a protocol; it is the bridge between a complaint and a protected life. Identifying lethality before it occurs is our collective mission.
