Ecuador's cosmetics and hygiene industry reports $51 million in exports by August 2026, exceeding the full-year 2025 figure, and targets $2.807 million in sales by 2026. The milestone indicates strong sector growth, though the target figure appears inconsistent with the export data, suggesting possible reporting error or a different metric.
