Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the market for fresh or chilled carrots and turnips in Polynesia showed consistent growth, expanding from 2 000 t to 2 293 t. This increase was entirely driven by a rise in imports, which grew from 1 399 t to 1 791 t over the same period, while domestic production declined from 606 t to 502 t.

In 2022, the market volume contracted to 2 077 t, a decrease of 9.4%, primarily due to a sharp drop in imports to 1 583 t. The following year, the market stabilized at 2 061 t as a further reduction in imports to 1 504 t was partly offset by a recovery in domestic production, which reached 562 t.
