Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Saint Lucia contracted significantly from 634 t in 2018 to 406 t in 2023. This decline was most pronounced in 2020 and 2021, when the total volume fell by over 150 t, driven largely by a sharp reduction in imports. In 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture published detailed technical guidelines on cabbage cultivation and handling, emphasizing optimal planting spacing and marketing practices. This move reflected active government involvement to strengthen local production capabilities, which coincided with a temporary rebound in domestic output that year.

Following the low of 381 t in 2021, the market saw a partial recovery to 417 t in 2022 before a slight dip in 2023. Throughout the period, shifts in import volumes were the primary driver of market size fluctuations, while domestic production remained volatile, showing no sustained growth trend.
