Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh capsicum and pimenta fruits in Cyprus grew consistently from 2,436 t in 2018 to 2,978 t in 2023. This expansion was primarily supported by a steady increase in imports, which rose from 1,411 t to 1,888 t over the same period, while domestic production fluctuated between 940 t and 1,090 t.

In 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture published the Gastronomical Map of Cyprus to promote traditional local products, which likely helped maintain consumer interest in domestic fresh produce. The following year, the market saw sharp inflation, with fresh vegetable prices soaring by over 37%, yet total market volume continued to rise, reaching 2,978 t as both production and imports increased.
