Earlier Report Observations
The market volume for fresh aubergines in Thailand remained relatively stable between 2018 and 2023, fluctuating within a narrow band around 20 400 tonnes. It reached its highest point in 2019 at 20 836 tonnes before gradually declining to 20 315 tonnes by the end of the period.
This stability was underpinned by consistent domestic production, which averaged approximately 20 700 tonnes annually. A notable development was the more than twofold increase in export volumes, which rose from 159 tonnes in 2018 to 443 tonnes in 2023, slightly reducing the quantity available for the domestic market over time.
