Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2021, banana production in Dominica remained stable at approximately 11,500 t per year, with no exports recorded, resulting in a consistent domestic market size. The industry, dominated by small family-run farms, continued as a key economic sector while facing underlying challenges from international competition and changes in market access.
In 2022, the market size fell to 10,775 t as exports commenced, reaching 750 t. This reduction in domestic availability coincided with the industry's vulnerability to weather events and international market pressures, which prompted efforts to diversify through regional exports. The following year, exports continued at 503 t, allowing the market size to partially recover to 11,034 t.
Dominica's banana exports, primarily to Antigua and Barbuda, reflect adaptation to structural challenges, including the loss of preferential access to EU markets and competition from large Latin American producers. The sector remains a significant employer with thousands of smallholder farmers, but persistent risks from natural disasters such as hurricanes continue to impact production and export capacity.
