Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Congo showed relative stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual market volume fluctuating between 1 688 and 1 749 tonnes. Domestic production gradually increased from 1 635 to 1 670 tonnes over this period, while imports fell sharply from 113 to 30 tonnes, making the market more reliant on local output.

In 2024, agricultural support initiatives emerged as a potential driver for local vegetable production. Tenke Fungurume Mining distributed agricultural inputs to local planters in its concession, boosting corn output and indicating a broader push for farm development. At the same time, climate disturbances including scarce rains affected the 2024-2025 agricultural season, posing a challenge for cabbage and other crops.
