Earlier Report Observations

Local production of fresh aubergines in Djibouti grew from 56 830 kg in 2018 to 61 190 kg in 2023. This increase was driven by sustained government efforts to develop commercial agriculture and agri-food industries, a priority outlined in the national strategy to enhance food resilience. The policy focus specifically included vegetable production, such as aubergines, among key value chains for investment and support.

Over the same period, imports of aubergines fell dramatically from 99 266 kg in 2018 to zero in 2021, with only a minor rebound to 5 490 kg in 2022 before dropping again to zero in 2023. This sharp import reduction, occurring alongside rising domestic output, caused the total market volume to contract from 156 096 kg in 2018 to 61 190 kg in 2023. The shift reflects a broader move toward greater self-sufficiency in fresh produce, supported by policies promoting local agriculture despite challenges like limited arable land and drought conditions in the Horn of Africa.
