Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the Maltese market for fresh aubergines experienced variable dynamics. Market volume, representing total consumption, started at 1 024 t in 2018 and reached 1 086 t in 2023. This overall increase was not linear, as the market contracted over 2020 and 2021, falling to a low of 903 t, before a strong recovery in the final two years.

The market's decline in 2021 coincided with a sharp drop in domestic production to 730 t, down from 850 t the previous year. Imports, which had been declining since 2019, began to recover in 2021. From 2022 onward, both domestic output and import volumes rebounded, driving the market's return to growth.

By 2023, production had risen to 900 t and imports reached 186 t, pushing the total market volume to its highest point in the period. Import data for 4 continued this upward trend, with volumes reaching 231 t, indicating sustained supply into the market.
