Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in French Polynesia expanded significantly in 2019, with total volume reaching 912 tons, up from 763 tons the previous year. This surge coincided with the introduction of new public procurement rules at the end of 2019, which lowered thresholds for adapted procedures and likely increased government demand for local agricultural products, including cabbages. The market volume then declined to 767 tons in 2020.

From 2021 onward, the market stabilized and resumed growth, supported by the implementation of the Agriculture Master Plan 2021-2030. This plan aimed to improve market regulation, secure supplies, and control food price risks, creating a more predictable environment for cabbage producers. In 2022, the reopening of the local producers' market in Punaauia boosted direct sales channels, while the recognition of the Oceanian Organic Agriculture Standard (NOAB) encouraged organic farming practices. These measures helped domestic production climb to 663 tons that year, driving total market volume to 862 tons. By 2023, continued policy support and digital tools for protecting agricultural innovations maintained market stability, with total volume reaching 897 tons.
