Abstract: This report provides updated estimates of family living expenses and living wage for rural areas in the Limón and Heredia Provinces of Costa Rica. This region focuses on agriculture, particularly banana and pineapple. The update for 2025 takes into account the complex dynamics of inflation and exchange rates since the original Anker living wage study carried out in May 2017 (Voorend, Anker & Anker, 2017).
