Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled carrots and turnips in Malawi showed moderate fluctuations between 2018 and 2023, with volume ranging from 4 077 to 4 248 tonnes. After an initial decline from 4 248 tonnes in 2018 to 4 077 tonnes in 2019, the market gradually recovered, reaching 4 176 tonnes by 2023.

Domestic production, which accounted for the vast majority of supply, remained stable at just over 4 000 tonnes per year throughout the period. The low level of imports and the recent emergence of small export shipments from 2021 onward had a marginal impact on the overall market size.

The market's resilience was underscored by consistent local output, which offset variations in trade flows. The most notable trade shift was a sharp drop in imports to 34 tonnes in 2022, followed by a rebound to 81 tonnes in 2023.
