Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled capsicum and pimenta fruits in Brunei saw a slight contraction to 2 971 t in 2019, down from 3 116 t the previous year. A sharp rebound occurred in 2020, with volume surging to 3 760 t. This recovery coincided with the enactment of the Brunei Darussalam Food Authority Act, which established a dedicated regulatory body for food safety, and a growing consumer preference for health-conscious eating that bolstered demand for fresh vegetables.

Market growth continued through 2021, reaching 4 031 t. A dramatic expansion followed in 2022, as volume jumped to 6 852 t, driven primarily by a surge in imports. This period was marked by updated Public Health (Food) Regulations and sustained government initiatives to promote agricultural development, while consumer trends favoring organic and locally sourced produce kept demand strong. The upward trend persisted in 2023, with the market climbing to 8 088 t, supported by new BDFA guidelines for food import registration and the publication of a draft Food Order aimed at strengthening the overall food safety framework.
