Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the fresh capsicum market in Niger demonstrated significant growth with some fluctuations. Market volume expanded from 211 thousand tons in 2018 to 354 thousand tons in 2023, a 68% increase over the period. A temporary contraction of 8% occurred in 2020, followed by a recovery and sustained upward trend through 2023.

By 2024, the market was characterized by a persistent supply-demand imbalance. Insufficient local production against sustained demand led to sharp price increases, reaching up to 46% in certain regions. Logistics constraints and regional supply disparities further strained availability, especially during peak seasonal demand periods such as festivals. Occasional imports from Nigeria provided some supplementation but failed to fully alleviate the supply shortfall.
