Earlier Report Observations

Cabbage production in Mali exhibited a clear seasonal pattern, with the main growing campaign running from September to March, as noted in 2018. The market volume started at 80 350 t in 2018, dipped to 78 477 t in 2019, then jumped to 88 050 t in 2020.

Output contracted again to 77 535 t in 2021. The following year, despite global headwinds such as soaring agricultural input prices due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as a regional embargo that limited access to supply ports, production rebounded to 83 323 t in 2022. This recovery coincided with state intervention to support farmers, including decisions by the Transitional President to set purchase prices for key crops, which likely helped offset external pressures.

Growth continued in 2023, with production reaching 94 177 t and market volume climbing to 92 859 t. In 2024, authorities launched the Land Degradation Restoration Program to improve soil fertility and market access for agricultural products, while also pursuing prudent fiscal policies to bolster the farm economy.
