Costa Rica

Costa Rica is one of Latin America's most stable and prosperous nations, an upper-middle-income economy that abolished its army in 1948 and built a reputation for democracy, education, and environmental leadership.

It has moved from agriculture toward high-value manufacturing, medical devices, and services, attracting foreign investment, and is a global pioneer in ecotourism and conservation.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include medical devices and electronics manufacturing, ecotourism (a global model), agriculture (coffee, bananas, pineapples), and business services, powered almost entirely by renewable electricity.
