Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh aubergines in Madagascar showed remarkable stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volumes hovering around 1 820 to 1 830 t. This consistency occurred despite the introduction of Law No. 2020-003 on organic agriculture in 2020, which simplified market access for organic producers and encouraged the development of a dedicated segment for aubergines.

Consumer preference for freshness, highlighted in a 2021 survey, and efforts to promote vegetable processing to reduce waste did not prevent a minor market contraction that year. A rebound in 2022 was supported by improved harvest expectations, while rising fertilizer costs and unfavorable weather in 2023 placed upward pressure on production expenses, contributing to a slight volume decrease.

Throughout the period, the market was characterized by a rich diversity of local aubergine varieties and discussions on introducing new types from Africa. By 2024, new European Union regulations on mixed fruit and vegetable labeling, alongside concerns over possible nicotine contamination, introduced additional traceability and safety considerations for the sector.
