Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled capsicum and pimenta fruits in Yemen expanded from 13 576 t in 2018 to 18 644 t by 2022, driven by a sustained increase in domestic production. A notable surge occurred in 2021, when the market volume jumped by nearly 20% to 18 566 t.

Growth was more modest in 2020, a period which saw reports of expanding sweet pepper export opportunities in neighboring markets such as Jordan, potentially influencing regional trade patterns. After peaking in 2022, the market contracted to 17 261 t in 2023. By 2024, the sector faced broader economic pressures including recession and currency instability in Houthi-controlled areas, while government-controlled regions experienced relative currency appreciation and price stabilization efforts.
