Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled carrots and turnips in Madagascar showed steady volume growth from 9 271 t in 2018 to 9 728 t in 2023. The period began with low retail prices around Ar 2 000 per kilogram, reflecting a low-cost production and supply environment prior to subsequent inflationary pressures.

Market expansion continued despite rising costs, with a notable price increase to approximately Ar 3 000/kg in 2022 driven by higher expenses for transport and fertilizers. This cost-push inflation, reported by suppliers and traders, did not reverse the upward trend in volume, which was further supported in 2023 by seasonal demand increases during the winter months.

The regulatory framework for the market evolved by 2024 with the implementation of a sanitary approval requirement for local establishments and a decree clarifying the powers of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, shaping future market access and traceability standards for domestic production.
