Earlier Report Observations

Banana production in Samoa increased from 22 727 t in 2018 to 23 251 t in 2020. This growth was supported by a significant rise in export activity, with banana exports surging by 159% in value terms between 2017 and 2019, reaching USD 0.03 million and stimulating domestic output.

Production then declined to 21 484 t in 2022, a drop of nearly 8% from the 2020 peak, before recovering to 22 203 t in 2023.

In 2024, Samoa's banana exports faced a sharp price decline as part of a global trend, though its impact on domestic production volumes is not yet reflected in the available data.
