Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled aubergines in Polynesia expanded significantly from 119 tonnes in 2018 to a peak of 161 tonnes in 2020, driven by a steady increase in domestic production over the same period. This growth phase was followed by a pronounced contraction, with the market volume falling to 120 tonnes in 2022 as local production declined.

A partial recovery was observed in 2023, with the market reaching 133 tonnes. This rebound aligned with a rise in production volumes, while import and export flows remained minimal throughout the period, having a negligible impact on the overall market size.
